Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) “is the man” and “will win” the 2023 Tour de France, according to Eurosport expert Jens Voigt. The Slovenian is on a revenge mission after seeing Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) end his two-year streak in the yellow jersey last year. Ad After a brilliant spring yielded wins at Paris-Nice, the Tour of Flanders and Amstel Gold, Pogacar looked to be the clear favourite heading into this summer's Tour.

But that uncertainty has not dissuaded two-time Tour stage winner Voigt, who claims “not even 50 domestiques” could help Vingegaard stop Pogacar. “In my eyes it is completely clear.

Tadej Pogacar is the man, he will win this Tour de France,” began Voigt. “He is still upset and mad and angry and disappointed about last year’s defeat. For someone like Tadej Pogacar, being second in the Tour de France after winning it twice is a defeat.
