One hundred and eighty-four of the best cyclists are set to compete in this year's Tour de France, but only 10 or so riders have a real shot at winning the world's greatest race.
Business gets underway on Saturday in Brest, in northwest France, before the peloton wends its way east, climbs the Alps and Pyrenees, stops in Bordeaux for a penultimate-day time trial, and finishes in Paris for the famous sprint on the Champs-Élysées.
While the 108th edition of the Tour features plenty of climbing and three summit finishes, there will also be two individual time trials, with overall victory favoring the strongest all-around rider.
Here are our favorites to win, ranked from least to most likely.
