Tour de France gets underway today

The Tour de France begins with the Grand Depart in Copenhagen later today, signalling the beginning of the 109th Tour de France.

The first stage is a 13-kilometre individual time trial around the Danish capital.

Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar is aiming to win the Tour for a remarkable third year in a row.

Filippo Ganna is expected to decimate the field on the short and inevitably find himself dressed in Yellow after the opening stage.

In a sport where every second counts, memories move toward Primoz Roglic and his 2020 heartbreak against the clock.

The event presents a big opportunity for Geraint Thomas, as he bids to assert himself as the dominant force in a trio-heavy team.
