It's that time again, cycling fans. The three-week Tour de France is upon us.

After a couple of stages in Germany, La Grand Boucle makes stops in Belgium and Luxembourg before heading down into France.

Chris Froome is again the favorite, but Richie Porte, Nairo Quintana, and Alberto Contador, among others, could surprise.
