COPENHAGEN, DENMARK • Primoz Roglic must find a way to stop his Slovenian rival Tadej Pogacar from winning the Tour de France for the third straight time.

Pogacar is firm favorite to win the threeweek race, which starts in Denmark on Friday and ends in Paris on July 24.

Pogacar won Tirreno-adriatico and the UAE Tour this year, and showed his class with an unprecedented long-distance solo attack to win the Strade Bianche in March — despite being involved in a crash early on in the oneday race.
