Its that time of year again!
Its 30 years now
since Miguel Indurain took the first of his five wins in la Grande Boucle, but will we see the start of another era of domination by Tadej Pogacar? Or will this be one of the most open races for years as many are saying?
Roglic will want to make up for last years collapse, Geraint Thomas is back to some decent form, Carapaz is coming off an excellent win in Switzerland, Rigo Uran has shown he is in very good form the last few weeks...it really could be anyone's race - especially with two individual time trials added to the mix this year.

Will Cav add to his tally of 30 stage wins after a late call up? Will MVDP be a constant threat to attack in the first week? Will Froome even finish the race this year?! Itll be a very interesting 3 weeks for sure.
By the looks of it, its not as mountainous as previous editions - but 5 days in the Pyrenees in the final week (including a stage finish in a fellow NSC's "home town" of Quillan) should really sort out the men from the boys.
Whos your money on for the Yellow, Green, Polka dot, and White?!
Vive le Tour!
