Tour de France 2021: The Big Preview

Only Ned Boulting and Matt Rendell could preview the Tour de France by referencing the Suez crisis, bull tattoos, Sigmund Freud, dental surgery, medieval Cornish and the relative merits of the Brazilian and German football teams. But all this they do, as well as marking your card with their likely winners and lively outsiders for the 108th edition of this magnificent sporting spectacle. The opening stage sees the riders travel 197.8km from Brest to Landerneau - on an undulating road containing six climbs, with potential for crosswinds in the Monts d'Arree.
