The Tour is back on Saturday so here's a thread to discuss all the thrills and spills of the biggest race in cycling. Whether you're an avid fan or just want to make a passing comment about a headline, you're more than welcome in here!

Full coverage will be shown for the final time before it moves to pay per-view next year live on ITV4 with highlights at 7pm.

Still not accepted the fact this won't be on ITV next year 😢

Expecting the Pogacar / Vingegaard rivalry we've had for the past few years again. Pogacar seemed to be very much on top in the Dauphiné but who knows what three weeks will do to them both!

Evenepoel is generally seen as the 'third contender' but I don't think third place is a certain for him, there were good results for Lipowitz and Johannessen at the Dauphine so maybe they could be in the mix, or even Matteo Jorgensen. And Roglic could of course cause an upset, although I'm hesitant to put him down as a contender given his tendency to crash out of Tours de France!

A crazy first few days! Crosswinds breaking up the favourites in Stage 1, Pogacar and Vingegaard being in the Top 3 in stage 2 and three crashes on the spring stage today! Van der Poel still in yellow.

And Pogacar gets his first win of this Tour! Only missing out on the yellow jersey on countback.

Nice to see Oscar Onley up into the Top 10, I wonder how far into the race he can go as a contender?

We're at the end of the first set of stages now and Ben Healy is in yellow after getting in a breakaway today! Not sure anyone would have expected that, although he'll almost certainly fall away as the days go on. Behind him are the big three - Pogacar, Evenepoel and Vingegaard - so the race is on!

Rest Day 2 and Tadej Pogacar is very firmly in yellow now - he could be on for winning by the largest margin in a generation! Onley doing very well in fourth at the moment.

Only a couple of stages left now and it looks like Pogacar has this sewn up. No-one has really been able to match him all Tour, Vingegaard and his team have pulled every trick in the book to try and drop him but it hasn't worked.

Lipwitz looks like he'll finish in third to make the podium identical to that of the Dauphiné. Oscar Onley in fourth is a brilliant statement from him, here's hoping he'll become the next British grand tour star.
