For many riders and fans alike, the Tour de France is the season's peak – the biggest stage where the greatest stars challenge each other over some of cycling's most legendary battlefields.

The race starts this year in Lille, northern France, before wending its way south, first to the Pyrenees and then across to the Alps, taking in celebrated climbs like Mont Ventoux and Hautacam along the way.

Adam is Cycling Weekly’s news editor – his greatest love is road racing but as long as he is cycling, he's happy. Before joining CW in 2021 he spent two years writing for Procycling. He's usually out and about on the roads of Bristol and its surrounds.

Before cycling took over his professional life, he covered ecclesiastical matters at the world’s largest Anglican newspaper and politics at Business Insider. Don't ask how that is related to riding bikes.
