Urán, for example: he rode 10 seasons for other teams when he signed with EF (then called Cannondale) and almost won the 2017 Tour. Anderson (1982) is the only Aussie to have claimed the white jersey. It’s a way of boosting the sport’s home-country profile and drawing fans. He’s been excellent since the season resumed at the end of last month. Later than usual, but boy we can't wait. Flying at the Dauphiné isn’t always a good sign for the Tour; it can mean you peaked too early. Jersey (/ ˈ dʒ ɜːr z i / JUR-zee, French: (); Jèrriais: Jèrri), officially the Bailiwick of Jersey (French: Bailliage de Jersey; Jèrriais: Bailliage dé Jèrri), is a British Crown dependency near the coast of Normandy, France. That affects depth: one Tour rider is Marc Hirschi, just 22, who’s never ridden a three-week Grand Tour. Well, not yet, but soon. The most insightful comments on all subjects will be published daily in dedicated articles. It’s quite another issue entirely if a top contender, or his whole team, has to leave the Tour only to learn that he was never really positive. The rainbow jersey is worn by the reigning world champions in the road race and individual time trials. One of the enduring experiences of the Tour de France is the sight of the early breakaway, those few hopefuls striking out with triple-digit kilometers still to ride in the stage. The team can handle it, but everything’s gotta go juuuust right in a year where pretty much nothing’s gone right. In fact, you can fairly ask “are they really a favorite?” After all, their best rider, Jakob Fuglsang, is headed to the Giro d’Italia. Visit Jersey. Truth? In the background, Yates is departing for INEOS next year and Darly Impey is on the move too. But for these teams, the point of the breakaway is often just to be in the breakaway: it gets the sponsor’s name and logo on TV. From: You get one guess.Top Riders: Tadej PogačarWhy They’re Here: To introduce the next rider to dominate stage racing. Zakarin has an all-time nickname (the Stork of Tatarstan), but for all that climbing talent, results are thinner than his arms. As with Total Direct Energie, a stage win would be huge; they’ll have to pick their spots carefully and get some luck for it to break their way. Outside of four DNFs, he has never placed lower than 20th. Later than usual, but boy we can't wait. Why They’re Here: Sagan is already the winningest rider in the race’s green jersey competition, with seven titles. And, Quintana’s getting older. Helluva team behind him too: former Tour of Spain winner Fabio Aru, David de la Cruz, and Davide Formolo on the climbs. Well, not yet, but soon.

Sure, they’re looking for stage wins. We did the recon - I knew every corner, every pothole on the road, where to accelerate. And a lack of knowledge never stops us from making bad predictions about who will win, who won’t, and why. Why They Won’t Win: Yates’s 4th overall four years ago was his best-ever result, and he’s trended down significantly since. There’s also more pressure on him than compatriot Romain Bardet this year, and Pinot has an uneasy relationship with the expectations of French fandom that he may be “The One” to end the home country’s 33-year dry spell of Tour winners. If it does make it to Paris, we will likely see riders and teams drop out because of positive COVID-19 tests. He was fast in February and has only kept going fast in the restart with a solid ride at the Dauphiné. But don’t sleep on López. Mads Pedersen will be wearing the rainbow jersey in 2020 after winning the title in Yorkshire last year. You can call Martínez’s Dauphiné win a bit of a fluke given the late DNFs of top riders, but he still won the thing.

Robbie McEwan won three (2002, 2004, 2006), with Baden Cooke (2003) and 2017 winner Michael Matthews also rolling into Paris in green. It’s hard to draw conclusions from such a weird season, but so far the sprint train that delivered him 10-plus wins a year at Deceuninck has not left the station at Cofidis, and he’s getting beat by riders he roasted a year or two ago; maybe DQS letting Viv go was cagier than it seemed. Why They Won’t Win: Like INEOS, Jumbo had a rough-and-tumble Dauphiné. Ten riders have finished the race winning both the GC and King of the Mountains, the most recent being Froome in 2015. Those riders wear a white jersey with green, yellow, black, red and blue bands around it. Cyclists are given just two rest days during the taxing 3,470 km (2,156 mi.) At last year’s Tour, Pinot was absolutely incandescent in the Pyrenees with a stage win and a sharp rise on GC. Why They’re Here: Does the fact that they’re tryin’ to do it for you, do it for you? Under the COVID-19 (Screening, Assessment and Isolation) (Jersey) Regulations 2020 providing false information is a criminal offence punishable by a £10,000 fine. Schachmann’s start is a calculated risk: that he can preserve the exceptional form he’s had this season and not crash and make his broken collarbone worse. Instead, a freak injury­—he tore a quadricep muscle in a Stage 17 crash—caused him unbearable pain and he shockingly DNF’d on Stage 19. The rest of the roster is a hodge-podge, and the team had a coronavirus scare in the re-start when one of its riders tested positive and set off a quarantine scramble with others who’d been in contact with him, which likely didn’t help their confidence. Finally, Groupama simply lacks the budget to sign the kind of support riders that rival teams like INEOS Grenadiers and Jumbo-Visma have. Points are awarded at stage finishes and at the intermediate sprints in line stages. Why They Won’t Win: Coquard has won a bunch of smaller races and, if he gets in a breakaway that holds off the pack, he’s a solid bet for a sprint victory from a smaller group. INEOS has always been a team that likes a nice, orderly plan to things, and 2020 is the year that literally nothing has gone according to expectations. Setting aside Geraint Thomas’s not-totally unexpected 2018 win, it hasn’t happened since 2008 when Carlos Sastre wore yellow, so maybe we’re due. And Mitchelton had one of the weirder moments of the COVID-induced pause in racing with a surreal week where team owner Gerry Ryan supposedly found a new title sponsor (or was it owner?) From: The NetherlandsTop Riders: Primož Roglič, Tom Dumoulin, Wout van Aert. Might this year be different? They’ll miss Tim Wellens, out with injury in a training crash. In a sign of a changing of the guards, Bernal also claimed the white jersey, with the Colombian still eligible for the jersey until 2024. He left Sky that winter for Movistar, which maybe wasn’t the best choice because of intra-team dysfunction there, but he’s not gone better than 4th overall in a grand Tour since departing Sky. He’s 30, has the entire team firmly behind him, and there’s a sense of destiny about him. Related: The 21 stages of the 2020 Tour de France
