Which means: Reeling in the breakaway in the finale, lead-out trains fighting for the perfect position, and a surge for the win by the fastest finishers in the world.
It’s not known yet which sprinters will line-up at the start of the Tour de France. Mark Cavendish, who matched Eddy Merckx’s record of 34 Tour stage victories last year, could become the sole record holder. But will he be given the chance to win again in Denmark? Team manager Patrick Lefevere has admitted that he will favour Fabio Jakobsen in La Grande Boucle.

We’ll update this article as soon as the Tour de France’s entry list starts to take shape.
