The time has come for the cycling world to pay attention to every sports channel that will broadcast their favorite competition in this discipline: the Tour de France. The 109th edition of this legendary tournament will be, as each year, very demanding for every rider, but only one can take the glory back home.
This year, the 23 year-old Tadej Pogacar is seen as the best candidate to win the competition. It could be a back-to-back championship for the slovenian and the UAE Team Emirates, but there are also some other riders like Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Daniel Martinez (Ineos Grenadiers), who are looking to take the crown away from Pogacar.
For 23 days, France and Denmark will receive the 218 riders to see how they develop through each stage. Of course, the rest days are important, but not only for the physical aspect, also it will be necessary for the contestants to clear their minds and fully focus in their training, route and bodies to get the first place in the competition.
