Danish police raided the hotel of Team Bahrain-Victorious early Thursday on the eve of the start of the Tour de France in Denmark. The event led to an excruciating silence at their pre-Tour press conference in the afternoon.

The Tour de France peloton has landed in Copenhagen and is ready for Friday's grand depart. The past several years have been dominated by the young guns, chief among them is 23 year old defending champion and top favorite Tadej Pogačar.

The Tour de France is once again upon us, celebrating its 109 edition with the Grand Départ taking place in Copenhagen this year. Two big names that will be sorely missed in Denmark include teammates Julian Alaphilippe, who continues to recover from an earlier crash this season, and Mark Cavendish. Plenty of big names remain however, as FloBikes gives a list of the favorites expected to be among the battle for yellow.

The mountains return to the forefront during the 109th edition of the Tour de France, celebrating its grand départ on Friday, July 1st. The 176 riders taking the starting line will face six mountain stages, with 5 summit finishes throughout the 3,329 km trek around France. FloBikes break each mountain stage down, looking at the historic battles fought and the expectations of what is to come.

The race against the clock will kick off the 109th edition of the Tour de France, taking its grand départ for the first time in its history in the Denmark capital of Copenhagen. Known as the world capital of cycling, the sport is a way of life for the 5.8 million people that call Denmark home.

Tadej Pogacar will begin his bid for a third straight Tour de France title later this week alongside four of the same teammates who helped him to last year's yellow jersey. The Slovenian was unsurprisingly on Monday named in the UAE Team Emirates line-up for the race, which gets underway in Copenhagen on Friday.
