With the big battle between Pogačar and Vingegaard covered in part one, and the route dissected in part two, this time it's a chance to take a deeper look at some of the other storylines and riders who are set to animate the Tour de France. From the much-anticipated debut of French sensation Paul Seixas, to the joint-leaders of the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe team, Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz, who else will challenge for the podium and the other top places on GC? We weigh up a deep field of fast finishers and ask who will be left standing when the sprinting game of musical chairs comes to a halt. There's a visit to Coorevits Corner, we hear from the Voice of Radio Tour, and ask which teams really need a good Tour de France. Parts one and two of The XL Preview series are online now. Daily coverage of the Tour de France starts on Saturday, July 4. TITLE SPONSOR – MyWhoosh Our Tour de France preview series is sponsored by MyWhoosh .
