The Tour de France begins with the Grand Depart in Copenhagen later today, signalling the beginning of the 109th Tour de France.
The first stage is a 13-kilometre individual time trial around the Danish capital.
Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar is aiming to win the Tour for a remarkable third year in a row.

Filippo Ganna is expected to decimate the field on the short and inevitably find himself dressed in Yellow after the opening stage.
In a sport where every second counts, memories move toward Primoz Roglic and his 2020 heartbreak against the clock.
The event presents a big opportunity for Geraint Thomas, as he bids to assert himself as the dominant force in a trio-heavy team.
