Mind Games and Mountain Battles: Tour de France 2023 Unveils North American Contenders and Cable-Free Viewing Options

Tadej Pogačar, the two-time Tour de France champion, has named defending yellow jersey holder Jonas Vingegaard as the main favorite for this year's race, citing Vingegaard's dominance in the Dauphiné. Pogačar, who is uncertain about his own form due to a wrist injury, will start the Tour with co-captain Adam Yates. Vingegaard, on the other hand, remains focused on his own preparation and refuses to engage in mind games. The opening stage is expected to be explosive, with Pogačar likely to attack early.
