Your guide to when the Tour de France 2023 will go ahead, including the schedule for the event.
The Tour de France is on the horizon with riders from across the globe gearing up for the most prestigious cycling event in the world.
Last year's edition of the Tour finished with a resounding victory by Jonas Vingegaard competing for Team Jumbo-Visma.
The Danish rider finished runner-up in the 2021 edition of the Tour, his maiden voyage in the event, and will be determined to maintain his terrific form across the challenging route this time around.
Tadej Pogačar, champion in 2020 and 2021 and runner-up in 2022, is forging quite the rivalry with Vingegaard for top honours in the Tour - and is expected to go strongly again.
Geraint Thomas, who finished third in 2022, will not feature this year after opting to compete in the Giro d'Italia.
Fans will be intrigued to see how this edition of the Tour pans out with plenty of upcoming riders determined to enjoy a breakout ride that could see them soar up the classification going into the closing stages.
