Their mutual battle on Saturday, starting the one hundred and eighth year of the Tour de France, will be the most watched duel of the race! Roglič longs for revenge. When he lost his yellow jersey in the penultimate stage last year, he had tears and emptiness in his eyes … And especially the idea that this must not be repeated.
At the end of last season, Roglič made his taste by triumphing at the Vuelta, but the Tour is something else. Symbol! A legend that makes cyclists immortal! And so Roglič began to prepare roughly. And he totally dug up all the habits. He has not completed a single race since April 25. He worked on a high-altitude training, concentrating on training. And he hopes that as the only leader of the Jumbo Visma team, he will handle all the pitfalls and finally get a yellow jersey when he finishes in Paris.

“I tried to do things differently. Better. The fact that Tadej is my compatriot gives each other an even bigger charge. He forced me to become better, “Roglič does not hide how he perceives the prestigious struggle with another Slovenian star.

Tadej Pogačar can be relatively calm. Last year, he was shocked by a sensational win and made an indelible mark on history when he dominated the Tour de France as the second youngest racer in history and added a polka dot jersey for the King of Climbers and a white jersey for the best rider under twenty-five to the yellow jersey of the absolute winner. It is extremely clear that he does not intend to vacate the position. However, his UAE Emirates team also strengthened the team by two mountaineers (Majka, Hirschi), so that the young Slovenian would receive maximum support in the attack of the overall standings.
However, the Tour de France 2021 will definitely not be just a battle of two Slovenes. Ineos Grenadiers have brute force. The British formation had to vacate the throne last year after five years of reign. And he intends to take back the government this year. That’s why he has a set that terrifies.

Richard Carapaz has a triumph from Gira, as does Tao Geoghegan Hart. Geraint Thomas tasted the taste of the first place on the Tour, Richie Porte finished bronze last year at the Old Lady.
Can anyone blunt the power of this set? Especially when potential leaders have in their backs the famous lineup of rows Rowe, van Baarle, Kwiatkowski, Castroviejo?
Israel Start-UP Nation has big plans. However, the leadership of the ambitious formation, which wants to win the Tour de France within three years, resigned from the attempt to attack the triumph with Chris Froom. The four-time Old Lady champion, who strengthened the team in the winter, is on the starting list, but he will only play the role of a fantastically paid domestic player and captain, because his performance is not enough for the overall triumph. The leader will be an experienced Canadian Michael Woods.
