It's finally here! The 2021 Tour de France kicks off this Saturday on the 26th of June. 21 epic stages, 3 weeks of brutal racing, and 3383km of gruelling roads await the peloton as they prepare to embark on the biggest bike race in the world. With defending champion, Tadej Pogačar, last year's "nearly man", Primož Roglič, and an Ineos trident of three Grand Tour winners on the start line - it's going to be a truly epic race. Make yourselves comfortable; in this video, we're going to take an in depth look at the route, discuss the favourites, and make our GCN predictions!
