With cycling's biggest race set to kick off in Copenhagen this Friday, make sure you catch all the action with a GCN+ subscription... sponsored
While the cycling world has spent the past week poring over stage profiles and form guides, and endlessly debating controversial team selections – thanks, Patrick Lefevere – by the time the first rider rolls down the start ramp in Copenhagen on Friday afternoon, all eyes will finally be on four weeks of thrilling racing on the roads of France .
And if you didn’t manage to secure a whole month of annual leave for July , you can still make use of the full stage replays, on-demand highlights and in-depth pre- and post-stage analysis on GCN+ to make the most of your subscription and avoid missing a second. This year’s Tour de France could finally see the all-Slovenian Tadej Pogačar versus Primož Roglič tussle for the yellow jersey that we’ve been waiting for since the younger man famously usurped his compatriot in dramatic fashion on the slopes of La Planche des Belles Filles in 2020.
With the Tour visiting Alpe d’Huez for the first time since Thomas took the stage and yellow jersey atop its famous 21 hairpin bends four years ago - while also featuring a hazard-laden stage across the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix and taking in the Alps, Vosges, Pyrenees and Massif Central mountain ranges - there will be plenty of scope for riders aiming to challenge Pogačar’s dominance.
Once the final yellow jersey is awarded on the Champs-Élysées in three weeks’ time, the inaugural Tour de France Femmes will pick up the baton for what looks set to be an explosive - and momentous - eight days of racing. The varied route will take the riders across north-eastern France before a spectacular final weekend in the Vosges, coming to a crescendo on the 20 percent slopes of the Planche des Belles Filles.
