The anticipation of the 2014 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France s♍tart on July 5 in Leeds, Yorkshire, is building and cycling fans are gauging which riders will be the most capable of winning the maillot jaune in three weeks time.

Defending champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chris Froome from Team Sky heads into the race as one of the outright favorites but with 3,656km of road to cover, which includes a new cobbled stage, si🌼x mountainous stages with five altitude finishes and a 54km time trial on the penultimate day, there’s no definite path to the overall title. The Kenyan-born Briton will need to improve his game if he hopes to win the yellow jersey for a second consecutive year.

Spain’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alberto Contador from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff-Saxo, who has won the Tour on two occasions, is the most likely candidate to give Froome a head-on fight for the top spot on the podium, but there are a series of other talented contenders that just might pull off a surprise victory by the time the race makes it to the finale on July 27 along the Champs-Élꦆysées in Paris.
