Every stage of the 108th Tour de France airs on NBC Sports and Peacock. All NBC and NBCSN coverage also streams on NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app. Tadej Pogacar defends his surprise title from September when he became the first Slovenian to win cycling’s most prestigious stage race.
Pogacar, then 21, was the second-youngest winner in race history after Henri Cornet in 1904. (Cornet won after the first four finishers were disqualified for unspecified cheating. The 19-year-old Frenchman rode 21 miles with a flat tire during the last stage after spectators reportedly threw nails on the road.)
Pogacar was the first man to win a Tour in his debut since Frenchman Laurent Fignon in 1983. And the first in more than 60 years to pedal in the yellow jersey for the first time on the final day of a Tour.
Fellow Slovenian Primoz Roglic, the 2020 Tour leader for nearly two weeks before ceding in the time trial on the penultimate day, also returns. Roglic is supported by a strong team of climbers, including American Sepp Kuss.
Chris Froome, a four-time champion, races the Tour for the first time since 2018 with his new team, Israel Start-Up Nation. He is not a general classification contender. Froome is returning from a June 2019 crash, where he slammed into the wall of a house at 34 miles per hour after losing control on a training ride. He broke his right femur, elbow, and several ribs, was in intensive care and underwent surgery for several hours.
Past Tour champions Geraint Thomas and Vincenzo Nibali are also on the field. It’s the first time four past Tour winners have started the race since 2009 (if you include Lance Armstrong) or 1993 (if you don’t have Armstrong).
