Tour de France 2020 dates | TV schedule and live stream

Former champions – and British stars – Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas are not taking part in this year's event with Team Ineos.

Froome has spent most of the last year on the treatment table recovering from a horror crash prior to last year's Tour, but had returned to action, albeit in a more tepid manner.

However, their absence hasn't reduced the drama on the roads.

Who won the Tour de France 2019?

Egan Bernal ended a run of British dominance in the Tour de France last year.

Froome and Thomas combined to sweep up the last four years of TDF titles for Team Sky before a name change to Team Ineos.

Colombian star Bernal rode to victory for Ineos despite not winning any individual stages and only leading twice.

The 23-year-old was rewarded for his consistency throughout all the stages as he was crowned in Paris.
