Wikipedia - "The 2018 Tour de France is the 105th edition of the Tour de France, one of cycling's three Grand Tours. The 3,351 km (2,082 mi) race started from Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, in the Vendée department, on 7 July and will finish with the Champs-Élysées stage in Paris, on 29 July. A total of 176 riders across 22 teams are participating in the 21-stage race. The Tour is the shortest of the millennium and will be the fifth time a tour has set out from the Vendée department. ... Defending champion Chris Froome (Team Sky) was generally considered the main favourite for victory. He had won four out of the last five editions, and was also the current defending champion at both other Grand Tours, the Vuelta a España and the Giro d'Italia. However, Froome's participation was cast into doubt when he returned a urine sample at the 2017 Vuelta a España, which contained twice the allowed amount of the asthma drug salbutamol. ... The sprinters considered favourites for the points classification and wins on the flat or hilly bunch sprint finishes are Peter Sagan, Fernando Gaviria, Dylan Groenewegen, Arnaud Démare, Marcel Kittel, Michael Matthews, Mark Cavendish, André Greipel, Alexander Kristoff, Sonny Colbrelli, Nacer Bouhanni, John Degenkolb. ..."
