The opening stage of this year’s Tour de France is a 13.2 kilometre individual time trial around Copenhagen, Denmark. Overall favourites for the yellow jersey, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma), will be looking to get their race off to a flying start in the general classification.
Tadej Pogačar won last year's stage five time trial to Laval and Wout Van Aert took victory in the penultimate day time trial into Saint-Émilion.
Two of the favourites for the day are Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) and Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) despite the Belgian suffering a recent knee injury. Ganna will pull on a ‘supersonic’ skin suit in his bid for an opening day glory and is odds-on favourite for the stage.
Meanwhile Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) has played down his chances of winning the time trial.
