Tour de France 2023: full team-by-team guide

Our in-depth look at every team, the main riders to watch and the cast of characters racing through France this summer

• Stage-by-stage guide to this year’s Tour de France

Ag2R-Citroën

Veteran French Tour battlers notorious for wearing brown shorts. Their Australian climber Ben O’Connor had a nightmare in 2022, ripping a muscle in a crash, but O’Connor is back on form this season so they need a repeat of his 2021 feats, with Paret-Peintre and Cosnefroy likely to target hilly stages.

Team Stan Dewulf, Clément Berthet, Felix Gall, Aurélien Paret-Peintre, Ben O’Connor, Benoît Cosnefroy, Oliver Naesen, Nans Peters

Main man Ben O’Connor – Aussie mountain man still out to prove 2021’s fourth overall was not a fluke

Alpecin-Deceuninck

From a relatively small cyclo-cross squad this cannily managed Dutch team has grown into a force to be reckoned with, mainly due to the presence of Mathieu van der Poel, the most charismatic racer in the bunch, but also because the team has recruited wisely around him. At the Tour they focus on Jasper Philipsen for the sprints and perhaps the green points jersey, with VdP targeting everything bar the high mountains; he will be a favourite on stage one’s short steep hills. Van der Poel took a long rest after his Classics campaign which seems to have paid off given his form in late June.

Team Silvain Dillier, Michael Gogl, Søren Kragh Andersen, Mathieu van der Poel, Quinten Hermans, Jasper Philipsen, Jonas Rickaert, Ramon Sinkeldam

Main man Mathieu van der Poel – flying this year, with two major Classic wins and a dominant display in the Tour of Belgium: expect fireworks.

Arkea-Samsic

This Breton-centred squad don’t have enough firepower to thrive in cycling’s most competitive milieu. Leader Warren Barguil was the future once but now looks like just another plucky contender. They will put riders in the daily daring moves but it’s hard to foresee a great deal more.

Team Warren Barguil, Clément Champoussin, Simone Guglielmi, Anthony Delaplace, Luca Mozzato, Jenthe Biermans, Matîs Louvel, Laurent Pichon

Main man Warren Barguil. “Wawa” was King of the Mountains and double stage winner in 2017, but there’s only so long you can live off past glories.

Astana Qazaqstan

Kakakhstan’s finest have changed tack by hiring Mark Cavendish; a stage win for the Manxman is the obvious target but there’s not a lot of sprint support here apart from Cees Bol, with Moscon for the grunt work beforehand. To hedge their bets, Federov and Lutsenko will target mountain stages.

Team Mark Cavendish, Aleksei Lutsenko, Cees Bol, David de la Cruz, Yevgeniy Federov, Luis Leon Sanchez, Gianni Moscon, Harold Tejada

Main man Mark Cavendish – the greatest sprinter of all needs one Tour stage win for the absolute record but it won’t be simple given the dearth of sprint stages.

Bahrain Victorious

Likely to be scarred mentally by the shocking death of Gino Mäder in the Tour of Switzerland, but if that tragedy brings them together, most of the riders look to be coming to form and they have a raft of chances to be “victorious” with new British champion Wright, Poels, Bilbao and Mohoric.

Team Niklas Arndt, Phil Bauhaus, Jack Haig, Pello Bilbao, Fred Wright, Mikel Landa, Matej Mohoric, Wout Poels

Main man Mikel Landa – the Basque climber is a cult figure due to his enigmatic, tragic mien; he could make the top five or fall apart. That’s “Landismo”.

Bora-Hansgrohe

Multiple opportunities for Germany’s finest, who pulled an excellently crafted Giro d’Italia win out of the bag last year with Australian climber Jai Hindley – quite the progression since their humble beginnings as team NetApp more than 10 years ago. Once again there is no place for the sprinter Sam Bennett, who has not ridden the Tour since winning two stages and the points prize in 2020. Around Hindley there’s plenty of climbing strength with Konrad, Buchman and Higuita plus a 2022 stage winner in Jungels, and a sprinter who can look after himself in Meeus.

Team Emanuel Buchman, Marco Haller, Jai Hindley, Bob Jungels, Patrick Konrad, Nils Politt, Jordi Meeus, Danny van Poppel, plus one to be named by Friday 30 June

Main man Jai Hindley. Fourth in the recent Criterium du Dauphiné bodes well but can he step up into cycling’s most hostile environment?

A team of options and caveats. Zingle, Martin, Lafay, Izaguirre and Geschke can hope for an opportunistic stage win, while Coquard is competitive in a small group finish. But they will struggle to rival the heavyweights so will probably end up with the French fallback: the daily suicide break.

Team Bryan Coquard, Simon Geschke, Ion Izaguirre, Victor Lafay, Guillaume Martin, Anthony Perez, Alexis Renard, Axel Zingle

Main man: Guillaume Martin – a cerebral climber who has written a book on philosophy; he could scrape into the top 10 overall but that looks like his limit.

DSM-Firmenich

This squad doesn’t have the biggest budget but it has a knack of landing key wins when it matters. They split neatly into a climbing half around the evergreen Romain Bardet, and Degenkolb, Edmondson and Eeckhoff in the sprint half in support of Sam Welsford – one of the surprises of this season.

Team Nils Eeckhoff, John Degenkolb, Kevin Vermaerke, Alex Edmondson, Sam Welsford, Matthew Dinham, Chris Hamilton, Romain Bardet.

Main man Romain Bardet. No longer the force he was when he finished second in the 2016 Tour but still capable of a solid top 10 overall.

EF Education-Easypost

The American team that loves to act the kooky underdogs but the facts belie this. They had a great Tour in 2022 thanks to Magnus Cort’s stage win; this year they had notched up 20 race wins by late June. The Olympic champion Carapaz, Bettiol, Uran and Powless could all land a stage.

Team Richard Carapaz, Rigoberto Uran, Neilson Powless, Alberto Bettiol, Esteban Chaves, Magnus Cort, James Shaw, Andrey Amador

Main man Magnus Cort – behind the (sponsored) fighter pilot moustache is a ruthless stage hunter chasing his 10th Grand Tour stage win.

Groupama-FDJ

In their 27th Tour, as usual it’s going to be fly or flop, with a bit more pressure after leader David Gaudu’s spat with sprinter Arnaud Démare sidelined this proven winner. Much loved Thibaut Pinot starts his final Tour; expect tears aplenty, hopefully on the Champs Elysées rather than before.

Team David Gaudu, Kevin Geniets, Stefan Küng, Olivier Le Gac, Valentin Madouas, Quentin Pacher, Thibaut Pinot, Lars Van den Berg

Main man David Gaudu – is France’s best hope for a podium finish but can he bear the weight of a nation?

Ineos Grenadiers

Once upon a time, the squad reputed to be the richest in cycling were the ones to beat in the Tour, but they have lost direction since Chris Froome’s departure and Egan Bernal’s horrific crash in 2022, and are now scrabbling to keep up with Jumbo and UAE. That’s reflected in a victory haul this season of around half that of the Big Two. A lot hangs on Tom Pidcock, winner at l’Alpe d’Huez last year; with Bernal struggling to return to his best, this line-up prompts a mild chin stroke rather than a sense of shock and awe.

Team Dani Martínez, Tom Pidcock, Michal Kwiatkowski, Jonathan Castroviejo, Carlos Rodriguez, Egan Bernal, Omar Fraile, Ben Turner

Main man Tom Pidcock. Super talented and a terrifyingly good bike handler, the 23-year-old Yorkshireman needs to build on a great 2022 race.

Intermarché-Circus-Wanty

Seamless progress for the Walloon team since their Tour debut in 2018. No Belgians in their squad which won’t go down well at home, but they have a real stage win hope in Girmay, a potential top 10 finisher in Meintjes and wildcards such as Calmejane, Costa and Teunissen.

Team Lilian Calmejane, Rui Costa, Biniam Girmay, Louis Meintjes, Adrien Petit, Dion Smith, Mike Teunissen, Georg Zimmerman.

Main man Biniam Girmay – after landing a sprint stage of the Giro last year, the Eritrean is a good bet to become the first black African Tour stage winner.

Israel-PremierTech

With only five wins this year, they need to buck that trend with climber Woods, the punchy Teuns, sprinter Strong or all-rounder Clarke. They will have to box clever, because none of these is the very best at their speciality. No place for Chris Froome after his poor start to 2023.

Team Guillaume Boivin, Simon Clarke, Hugo Houle, Krists Neilands, Nick Schultz, Corbin Strong, Dylan Teuns, Michael Woods

Main man Michael Woods – 36 years old and a four-minute miler in the past, the Canadian is a decent outside bet on any steep uphill finish.

Jayco-AlUla

All in for sprinter Groenewegen and climber Yates. Yates has had a lean 2023, but he’s notched up 10 Grand Tour stages since 2018 and will have plenty of chances in a very hard Tour. Harper and Craddock support him in the mountains; Mezgec will deliver Groenewegen in the sprints.

Lawson Craddock, Luke Durbridge, Dylan Groenewegen, Chris Harper, Chris Juul-Jensen, Luka Mezgec, Elmar Reinders, Simon Yates

Main man Dylan Groenewegen. Looking for his sixth career Tour stage win, the Dutchman has had a strong season with half a dozen wins to his name already.

Jumbo-Visma

One of the two “superteams” in the race; there are times when Jumbo seem to win when, how and where they want. Here it’s all in for Vingegaard with Küss, Van Baarle and Kelderman his mountain support crew. The biggest asset is Wout van Aert, the most powerful all-rounder in cycling, who could probably hope to win half a dozen stages if he was the team leader. What’s disconcerting is that Jumbo put out a strong squad to win this year’s Giro with Primoz Roglic, and they can afford to leave all of them out of the Tour including the Slovene.

Team Wilco Kelderman, Dylan van Baarle, Wout van Aert, Tiesj Benoot, Christopher Laporte, Nathan van Hooydonck, Sep Küss, Jonas Vingegaard

Main man Jonas Vingegaard – wraith-like Dane who had the climbing legs to break Tadej Pogacar when it mattered last year, but the second Tour win never comes easy

There’s plenty of value for money here. It’s all about stage wins. The 2019 world champion Mads Pedersen is the best bet, but Skjelmose took the recent Tour of Switzerland while Ciccone landed stages in Catalonia and the Dauphiné. They boast three newly crowned national champions in Skjelmose, Kirsch and Simmons.

Giulio Ciccone, Tony Gallopin, Alex Kirsch, Juan Pedro Lopez, Mads Pedersen, Quinn Simmons, Mattias Skjelmose, Jesper Stuyven

Main man Mads Pedersen – he has stage wins at the Giro and Paris-Nice to his name this year, and will have a good chance on the hillier days at the Tour

Lotto-Dstny

Relegated to the second division last season, Belgium’s oldest team put most of their eggs in a basket labelled Caleb Ewan. Most of the team will be dedicated to ensuring he is in the right place at sprint finishes; strongmen Vermeersch and Campenaerts may be let off the leash on the non-sprint days.

Team Caleb Ewan, Jasper de Buyst, Jacopo Guarnieri, Florian Vermeersch, Frederik Frison, Victor Campenaerts, Pascal Eenkhorn, Maxim van Gils

Main man Caleb Ewan – five Tour stages to his name so far, one more would make Lotto’s Tour.

There’s a mid-table look to cycling’s oldest team, a far cry from when Miguel Indurain won five Tours in a row. Mas can target the podium, and Jorgensen is one of the most exciting prospects in the sport, but the fact he’s rumoured to be moving on in 2024 speaks volumes.

Team Alex Aranburu, Ruben Guerreiro, Gorka Izaguirre, Matteo Jorgensen, Enric Mas, Gregor Mühlberger, Neilson Oliveira, Antonio Pedrero

Main man Enric Mas – often the bridesmaid never the bride, the Spaniard is one of the big group targeting third place behind the Big Two while aiming for better if they falter.

Soudal-Quickstep

Belgian winning machine have converted themselves to a Grand Tour team led by Remco Evenepoel, who sits this one out. Here it’s about fidgety Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe and sprinter Fabio Jakobsen. “Juju” is under pressure from manager Patrick Lefevère and needs to find his former magic touch, while Jakobsen needs to at least repeat his stage win of last year; his five victories this year suggest that’s on the cards with the support of top lead-out man Mørkøv. Asgreen, Lampaert and Cavagna will support Alaphilippe in the hills and go in the breaks when he’s having a recovery day.

Team Julian Alaphilippe, Yves Lampaert, Tim Decelercq, Dries Devenyns, Fabio Jakobsen, Kasper Asgreen, Michael Mørkøv, Remi Cavagna

Main man Julian Alaphilippe – double world champion endured a torrid 2022 but has won twice this year and will be a favourite for stage one.

TotalEnergies

Once a reservoir of developing French talent, now a home for stars past their sell-by dates such as Boasson-Hagen, Oss and Sagan, while French riders Turgis and Latour are no longer cutting edge. Between them they will deliver various near misses, while a stage win would be a miracle.

Team Edvald Boasson-Hagen, Mathieu Burgaudeau, Steff Cras, Valentin Ferron, Pierre Latour, Daniel Oss, Peter Sagan, Anthony Turgis

Main man Peter Sagan. Once a mega star, the multiple world champion, Tour stage winner and record points winner is now on his farewell Tour.

UAE Team Emirates

Cycling’s other “super team”, with a wealth of strong men to rival Jumbo-Visma in support of double Tour winner Tadej Pogacar, who had taken on another dimension this year with his wins in the Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold and Flèche Wallonne before his untimely crash in Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Behind “Pog”, Adam Yates has hit form in the Critérium du Dauphiné and won the Tour de Romandie back in May, so should prove a decent understudy. After illness ripped through their ranks in last year’s Tour, arguably contributing to Pogacar’s defeat to Vingegaard, every cough, sniffle and minor headache will be viewed with suspicion.

Team Mikkel Bjerg, Felix Grossschartner, Vejgard Stake Langen, Rafal Majka, Tadej Pogacar, Marc Soler, Matteo Trentin, Adam Yates

Main man Tadej Pogacar – cycling’s biggest winner is targeting a third Tour; wins in his national road and time trial titles suggests the form has returned after a hiatus to nurse a broken wrist.

Invited to their first Tour, the Norwegian squad have a solid reputation for developing new talent and making the most of their resources. They bring a promising line-up fronted by veteran sprinter Kristoff, climbers Johanneson and Traeen, a strong all rounder in Waerenschold, plus the gritty Rasmus Tiller at the helm.

Team Jonas Abrahamsen, Torsten Traeen, Søren Waerenschold, Anton Charmig, Jonas Gregaard, Rasmus Tiller, Tobias Halland Johannesen, Alexander Kristoff

Main man Alexander Kristoff – is long in the tooth but could still snag a stage win; in a team of Tour debutants his experience will be crucial.

Changes can be made until Friday 30 June. Team line-ups correct at time of publication

Tour de Pharmacy 's Insane, Riotous Ride

The HBO special by Andy Samberg and Murray Miller is a bonkers, star-studded pastiche of cycling’s doping problem.

Tour de Pharmacy , a new mockumentary by Andy Samberg and Murray Miller, starts as it means to go on: with Orlando Bloom, in lycra and sporting two-tone facial hair, hurtling down a mountain having a drug-induced heart attack while his penis dangles woefully to the side. The 38-minute special, a good-natured play on reverent sports docs like ESPN’s 30 for 30 series, is absurd. It takes the thorny subject of doping in professional cycling and turns it into pure, gleeful mayhem, complete with animated guides to red-blood cells, artistic renderings of bear fellatio, and Lance Armstrong wearing a white fur coat, texting his lawyer.

The HBO special is a follow-up of sorts to 2015’s 7 Days in Hell , also written by Miller and directed by Jake Szymanski, which starred Samberg and Kit Harington as two professional tennis players participating in the longest and most controversial match in sports lore. Like its predecessor, Tour de Pharmacy turns a satirical eye to the more ridiculous excesses of professional sport—in this case the history of drug-fueled athletes at the Tour de France. If you’re not quite ready to laugh at Armstrong’s self-owns regarding his record of humiliating TV appearances, it’s hard not to snicker when John Cena shows up in typical Herculean form as the German athlete Gustav Ditters, roid-raging at any suggestions that he might have had chemical assistance in bulking up.

Cena is only one of an eclectic array of stars. Jon Hamm returns as the perfectly grave narrator. From the sporting world, there are Armstrong, Mike Tyson, Joe Buck, and Chris Webber as faux-earnest talking heads. But the plot focuses mainly on the five cyclists who supposedly faced off in the 1982 Tour de France: Bloom’s Italian stallion Juju Peppi (visibly inspired by the late Marco Pantani ); Cena’s Ditters; Samberg’s white Nigerian frat boy Marty Hass; Freddie Highmore’s Frenchwoman-in-disguise Adrian Baton; and Daveed Diggs’s American trailblazer Slim Robinson, Jackie Robinson’s “nephew,” with a history book-sized chip on his shoulder.

Miller and Samberg apparently became friends when both were summer-camp counselors who’d satirize the talent shows the staff would perform each year. Appropriately, Tour de Pharmacy has the attention span of a 15-year-old boy, whooshing from “historical footage” to video interludes to obscene Finnish credit-card commercials to Phylicia Rashad as an animator kicked off Sesame Street for creating a Black Panther puppet. In a longer movie, it might provoke whiplash. Here, though, the pace is frenetic enough that it works. And the special is sneakily well-informed when it comes to the story of doping in cycling, from the pharmacopeia of drugs athletes have historically ingested to get through races to the corrupt figures who turn a blind eye (a bewigged Kevin Bacon pops up as a Finnish anti-doping official who demands bribes to pay off his mountain of debt).

But wait: There’s more. Like James Marsden as a plummy BBC presenter riding alongside the cyclists. And Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Dolph Lundgren, and Julia Ormond as the present-day Hass, Robinson, Ditters, and Baton. And J.J. Abrams, inexplicably. At this point in his career, Samberg apparently has the network of friends and the stored-up goodwill to get anyone and everyone he wants to participate in what’s essentially a high-concept teenage showreel. Luckily for all involved, the end result is insane, filthy, and totally fun.

Film / Tour de Pharmacy

Edit locked.

Tour de Pharmacy is a 2017 HBO sports Mockumentary starring Andy Samberg , Orlando Bloom , John Cena , Freddie Highmore , Daveed Diggs , Jeff Goldblum , Danny Glover , Dolph Lundgren , Kevin Bacon , James Marsden , with appearances by many others, and narrated by Jon Hamm . It is a Spiritual Successor to 7 Days in Hell which Samberg also made.

This film provides examples of:

• Accidental Murder : Adrianna ends up killing Rex in an attempt to stop him from winning the race.
• The Ahnold : Gustav Ditters, the Austrian cyclist with massive muscles and a heavy accent. His older self is even played by Dolph Lundgren .
• Berserk Button : Do NOT tell Gustav he "can't ride fast" or question if he "can ride fast". Heckler: You suck Gustav! You can't ride fast! Gustav: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO ME?!
• Big "NO!" : Marty, after Adrianna unties her bike from his in order to stop Rex.
• Bittersweet Ending : Slim wins the race, solidifying his legacy as the first black cyclist in the Tour de France, and he spends the rest of his life as a dairy farmer with Vivienne. However, Pepi and Rex have both died, and Marty gets second place after being very close to winning, failing to get any respect from Nigeria. In addition, he and Adrianna never saw each other ever again.
• Brick Joke : Mike Tyson tells a story about a kid who stole his bike when he was young. During the credits, it is revealed that Joe Buck was that kid.
• Call to Agriculture : Slim leaves the race early on to become a farmer, at least until he changes his mind.
• Cross-Cast Role : Freddie Highmore plays the younger crossdressing Adrian Baton.
• Did I Just Say That Out Loud? : UCI president Ditmer Klerken tries to defend himself from the press when word got out that he was accepting bribes from doping cyclists but ends up admitting he did accept bribes.
• Europeans Are Kinky : The Finnish credit card commercial. The man spills milk, his wife catches him, and it cuts to him performing oral sex on her (with her breasts showing) and then to the credit card slogan, "Why pay now when you can pay later".
• For Want Of A Nail : Mike Tyson reveals he originally wanted to become a cyclist but got into boxing after someone stole his bike which enraged him that he beat the thief into a pulp which made him realize he had boxing skills.
• The Friend Nobody Likes : Marty Hass is disliked and considered an embarrassment by his home country of Nigeria due to the fact not only was he white and the son of a rich mine owner but also spent all of his life growing up in Nigeria but without ever really interacting with actual Nigerians, thus making all of his talk about the suffering of his fellow Africans seem hollow.
• Gilligan Cut : Ditters says that he's a peaceful person and doesn't approve of violence. Cut to Ditters beating up multiple other cyclists during the brawl.
• Hoist by His Own Petard : Had Ditters not got into his anger when he got heckled by a fan for being slow and then cycled very fast during the next lap, the authorities would have not notice his sudden change in behavior and discovered that he used cheetah's blood as a drug enhancement, getting him disqualified.
• Hope Spot : With no other contestants, Marty is about to win the race... only for Slim to suddenly come back and win instead.
• Immodest Orgasm : The five cyclists loudly orgasm as they receive muscle relaxing massages after one of the early legs of the race. Marty even has a "trifecta", which is where you vomit, defecate, and orgasm simultaneously.
• Large Ham : Gustav Ditters. Being played by John Cena definitely helps. Reporter: Gustav, my question is can you ride fast? Gustav: FUCK YOU! NEXT QUESTION!
• Mistaken for Gay : invoked Marty Hass and Adrian Baton begin a sexual relationship during the race and become gay icons because the general public wasn't aware that Adrian is actually Adrianna and is pretending to be a man in order to participate in the Tour de France.
• Naked People Are Funny : Jabin Dolchey's cycling clothing is practically transparent and during the Wimp Fight , gets his clothes ripped off by Gustav Ditters, exposing his unattractive body to the world. Lucy Flreng: He was an odd bird and he seemed proud of what everyone could see was a very tiny, misshaped penis. Lance Armstrong: It was like a pistachio nut in a dirty bird's nest.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed : Marty Haas is partly inspired by Chris Froome, who's British but grew up in Kenya and considers it home.
• Lance Armstrong is supposed to be "anonymous", however his face keeps being revealed bit by bit.
• Overly Narrow Superlative : Slim becomes the world's first black French dairy farmer.
• Pretty Fly for a White Guy : Exaggerated Trope with Marty, who is a white person of American descent born and raised in Nigeria and touts being the first Nigerian in the Tour de France; however he attended American schools and didn't interact with any actual Nigerians.
• Saying Too Much : JuJu Peppi during an interview when talking about Gustav's drug use. JuJu Peppi: Come on, how do you beat a man on drugs if you're not on drugs? Reporter: Wait, did you just admit to being on drugs? ( Beat as JuJu gives an Oh, Crap! look.)
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money! : What got most of the cyclists disqualified. UCI president Ditmer Klerken sent letters to all of the cyclists that if they each paid US$50,000 to him, there will be no drug testing for them therefore allowing them to dope. However, once the authorities learn about Klerken's scheme, the cyclists who bribed Klerken were disqualified for doping and the only reason the main five cyclists in the film were allowed to continue was due to the fact they didn't pay the bribe.
• Sweet Polly Oliver : Adrianna Baton disguises herself as Adrian Baton in order to compete in the Tour de France. Her disguise, however, consists solely of a (badly) drawn moustache and her breasts are quite obvious.
• Time-Shifted Actor : All the cyclists have famous actors playing their present-day selves.
• Twofer Token Minority : Slim Robinson, who's the first African-American cyclist of the Tour de France, and Marty Hass, a white Nigerian.
• Vulgar Humor : A lot, including that soon after JuJu's heart collapses, it's pointed out "he died with his dick out".
• Wimp Fight : Dozens of racers fall in a crash and a brawl ensues. But since cyclists train for endurance, the fight mostly involves the men ineffectually trying to slap each other with their gloves. The only real exception to this is Gustav Ditters succumbing to 'Roid Rage and mandhandling Jabin Dolchey like a toy.
• Wham Shot : During her interview, Adrianna mentions that she was sentenced to 35 years in prison for manslaughter after killing Rex. The camera then zooms out to reveal Adrianna in a prison cell, where she's been sitting the whole time.

Tour de France jargon buster: all the cycling terms you need to know to understand the race

Don’t know your bidon from your lanterne rouge? BikeRadar’s glossary of Tour de France terms is here to help

MARCO BERTORELLO/AFP via Getty Images

Colin Henrys

Cycling can be a jargon-strewn minefield for newcomers and the Tour de France is no different.

Perhaps you enjoyed the Tour de France Netflix series and will watch the race live for the first time this year, but are daunted by the racing lingo.

There's also the multi-coloured wardrobe of Tour de France leaders jerseys and the classifications they represent.

The way in which Tour de France prize money is distributed is hardly straightforward either.

Factor in the Tour de France bikes and who's riding what and there's a lot to get your head around.

Ne t'inquiète pas. Our guide to commonly used Tour de France terms and what they mean will help you follow this year's action.

Common cycling phrases and what they mean

A sudden acceleration designed to distance a rider's opponents, often but not always in the mountains.

Every Tour de France stage has a time limit and the autobus forms on the mountainous days when non-climbers from every team work together to finish inside the cut-off. Otherwise, they'll be swept up by the broom wagon (see below).

The autobus is also known as the grupetto.

An aggressive rider who specialises in breakaways (see below) in the mould of EF Education-Easy Post's Magnus Cort. They might target the combativity award (see below).

The French word for a water bottle; many roadside fans will try to collect discarded bidons as souvenirs (though the UCI officially banned the practice of discarding empty bottles in 2021).

In French, un bidon collé/collant is a sticky bottle (see below).

A small group of riders (or sometimes an individual), who accelerate away from the main bunch during a stage.

Broom wagon

The vehicle at the back of the race, which metaphorically sweeps up riders struggling to make the time cut due to injury or fatigue. In fact, they're more likely to step off their bike into the team car.

Bunch sprint

Flatter stages will usually finish with a bunch sprint – a high-octane, hell-for-leather battle for stage honours between the fastest sprinters in the peloton.

Though the peloton arrives at the finish together in a bunch sprint, it is the sprinters and their lead-out riders (see below) who contest the stage win.

Chasse patate

Wild-goose chase in French, literally potato chase; when a rider is stuck between the breakaway and the peloton, with no chance of bridging the gap.

Combativity award

Awarded each day to the most aggressive rider according to the race commissaires.

The combativity award rewards the rider who animated the stage by initiating a breakaway, repeatedly attacked or spent a long time in front of the bunch.

The winner can be spotted easily the next day thanks to their red race numbers. An overall combativity award is also given at the end of the race.

Commissaire

The official(s) who adjudicate the race; they hand out fines in Swiss Francs and demote or even disqualify riders if rules are broken.

Directeur sportif

A team’s race-day director; the master strategist; the person gesticulating wildly and conveying tactics out of the team-car window. Some teams prefer 'sports director'.

The unsung heroes of the team, selected to look after their team leader. Domestiques keep their lead riders safe, fed and watered, and will work to chase down breakaways or try to dictate the pace of the stage.

The French, however, use the more egalitarian équipier or Italian word gregario to describe team helpers.

Lunchtime. Each stage has a dedicated feed zone, where the riders knock the pace off to collect musettes (see below) from their team soigneurs (see below).

Flamme rouge

The one-kilometre-to-go marker, denoted by a red air bridge, under which hangs a red kite.

General classification

Each rider’s finishing time is collected after the day’s stage. The general classification sorts the riders according to their cumulative time, plus or minus any bonuses or penalties.

The rider who has taken the least time to complete the race so far wears the fabled yellow jersey.

Grand Départ

The start of the race. This year’s Grand Départ is in the Spanish city of Bilbao.

Simply l e départ is the start of each stage and l'arrivée is the stage finish.

Cycling’s three most prestigious stage races, each lasting three weeks, the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España are known as Grand Tours.

Grand boucle

Literally the 'big loop', the Grand Boucle is an arguably undeserved nickname for the Tour de France. These days, the race doesn't visit the whole of the country.

A climber; a rider who's best uphill and may go for King of the Mountains (see below) points.

Intermediate sprint

As well as the finish line, each stage features an intermediate sprint, where there are points and prize money to be won for the first riders across it.

King of the Mountains

One of the Tour de France’s secondary prizes, the mountains classification ranks the first riders across each classified climb in the race.

The tougher the climb, the more points there are available for that ascent. The leader of the mountains classification is the King of the Mountains and wears the polka-dot jersey.

Lanterne rouge

Named after the red light hung on the back of a train, the lanterne rouge is the rider placed last on the general classification.

Ironically, in the past riders competed to finish last in order to gain invitations to money-spinning post-tour circuit races called criteriums.

Lead-out rider

This rider's job is to guide their team's sprinter through the frenzied final hundred metres of a bunch sprint.

They shield them from the wind and leave them in the best position possible before peeling off.

Mark Renshaw and Michael Mørkøv have excelled as poissons-pilotes for joint-record Tour de France stage winner Mark Cavendish .

Maillot jaune/yellow jersey

The iconic yellow jersey, or maillot jaune , is worn by the general classification leader. Jonas Vingegaard (Team Jumbo-Visma) won the yellow jersey last year.

Maillot vert/green jersey

The green jersey is the prize awarded to the points classification leader. Usually dubbed the sprinters’ classification, due to more points being available on flatter stages, Wout van Aert (Team Jumbo-Visma) won it last year.

Maillot à pois/polka-dot jersey

A distinctive white jersey with red polka-dots, awarded to the leader of the mountains classification.

Maillot blanc/white jersey

The white jersey is worn by the highest-placed young rider in the general classification. All riders younger than 26 on 1 January of the year following the race are eligible for that year’s youth classification.

A rider's worst nightmare; a puncture or other mechanical issue, such as a dropped chain, that causes them to pull over.

A team's most valuable riders will get a spare bike from their mechanic or a team mate, ideally of the same height, will give them their bike. Less important riders will have to change wheels instead.

If the team car is not in sight, the rider will have to rely on the neutral service (see below) car for assistance.

A small cloth shoulder bag handed out in the feed zone, containing a rider’s food and extra bidons to help them avoid bonking ( la fringale).

Nature break

No, not a civilised pique-nique at a leafy French aire d'autoroute (service station). A nature break is when the riders slow down or stop for a wee.

Neutral service

A car carrying mechanics, spare bikes and wheels to assist riders who have a mechanical if their team car is not close by.

Shimano took over the job from Mavic in 2021.

The ‘course’ or route the race is taking.

The peloton is the main bunch of riders during the race.

Points classification

The top finishers in each stage and at each intermediate sprint are awarded points according to their position. Those points are added together to form the points classification, the leader of which wears the green jersey.

An all-rounder and often one of the hardest riders in the peloton; a rouleur can excel on all different terrains and often makes for an excellent domestique.

The unsung hero of a team’s staff behind the scenes; the soigneur (also known as a 'swannie' in English-speaking teams) is responsible for looking after riders off the bike and handing out musettes, bidons and extra layers of clothing during the race.

Capable of stunning bursts of acceleration over short distances, the sprinters slug it out with their counterparts in the peloton on the flatter stages.

Sprint train

Sprint trains form ahead of a bunch sprint, with team-mates providing a wheel for their sprinter to follow through the chaos that unfolds.

At the back of the train will be the lead-out rider with the team’s sprinter on his wheel, ready to burst for the line at the latest possible moment.

Sticky bottle

When a directeur sportif hands a bottle out of the team car to a rider who holds on longer than strictly necessary, getting a coup de pouce ( helping hand) from the car's motion.

Three-kilometre rule

On sprint stages, under the three-kilometre rule riders delayed by a crash or mechanical within the final three kilometres of the race will be awarded the same time as the stage winner.

Intended to calm the race for the position in the finale, the rule doesn't always have the desired effect.

Team classification

The team classification ranks each team according to the cumulative time of their top three finishers on every stage. The team classification leaders may – but don’t always – wear yellow helmets to distinguish them in the peloton.

Team time trial

There is no team time trial again this year. A team’s time is calculated at the fifth rider to cross the finish line.

Stage 16 of this year’s Tour de France will be a 22km individual time trial.

Riders set off individually, in reverse general classification order, on specialised time trial bikes with the aim of finishing the stage in the quickest time.

Often dubbed the ‘race of truth’, an individual time trial can result in big changes in the general classification.

How Andy Samberg Convinced Lance Armstrong to Be in an HBO Comedy About Doping

By Scott Tobias

The HBO mock-documentary 7 Days in Hell —about an epic Wimbledon match between a bad-boy Andre Agassi type and a dim-witted British simpleton—plays like a comic hallucination of the McEnroe/Borg documentary Fire & Ice , full of absurd tangents and stories within stories within stories. At one point, a top-ranked player leaves tennis to start an underwear line in Sweden (which ends in lawsuits over groin-chafing); at another, the doc trails off into a mini-profile of a courtroom sketch artist famous for incorporating cartoon animals into his work. Created by Andy Samberg and Murray Miller, written by Miller, and directed by Jake Szymanski, 7 Days in Hell parodies the gravitas of ESPN's 30 for 30 series and HBO's own sports docs, but it's also inspired silliness for its own sake, packed with filthy jokes and appearances from big names in the sporting world and in comedy circles.

Under the HBO "Legends of Sport" banner, Samberg, Miller, and Szymanski have returned with Tour de Pharmacy , an equally brilliant riff on the plague of performance-enhancing drugs in professional cycling. Tour de Pharmacy takes a fictitious look back at the 1982 Tour de France, an event so scandalized with drug cheats that 170 riders were disqualified and only five continued to compete. (They're dubbed "The Fab Five," which prompts an appearance here by a deeply confused Chris Webber.) The remaining cyclists are Marty Hass (Samberg), an American schooled in Nigeria who proudly represents the entire African continent; JuJu Peppi (Orlando Bloom), whose heart explodes from a cocktail of about three dozen different drugs; Slim Robinson (Daveed Diggs), Jackie Robinson's nephew, who hopes to break the color barrier in this very white sport; Gustav Ditters (John Cena), a German who's bulked up conspicuously; and Adrian Baton (Freddie Highmore), a Frenchwoman masquerading as a Frenchman. In contemporary interviews, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Dolph Lundgren, and Julia Ormond play older versions of Hass, Robinson, Ditters, and Baton, respectively.

Many more unexpected people turn up in Tour de Pharmacy , from Mike Tyson to J.J. Abrams to Phylicia Rashad, but the real ace in the hole is Lance Armstrong, who appears in poorly shrouded silhouette. After spending years beating drug tests and vociferously denying accusations of cheating, only to finally get caught and confess his sins to Oprah Winfrey, Armstrong proves surprisingly eager to make fun of himself and his scandal-ridden sport. In an interview with GQ , Samberg, Miller, and Szymanski talked about Armstrong's participation, their odd digressions into a Swedish "Kultabank" credit-card commercial and a radical "red blood cell" animated explainer, and their devotion to full-frontal male nudity.

What went into persuading Lance Armstrong to do this? Andy Samberg: Basically, we reached out to his reps and sent them the script. Then they said that Lance thought it was funny and he wanted to talk to me. So I called him. We talked and he liked it.

Was his participation essential? Samberg: Murray wrote it in, and we all thought it was so funny that we were praying it would happen. No one knew what he would think of it. We felt like we could make it without him, but if we got him, it would be really clutch, comedically.

Jake Szymanski: He definitely lends a lot of credibility to it because he remains, to the general public, the face of cycling in America. I think we can say we were all pleasantly surprised he said yes.

Were there restrictions or lines he didn't want crossed? Samberg: I don't think so.

Szymanski: No. He was pretty game for all of it and understood what the jokes were.

Samberg: We tried a bunch of stuff within the script—a bunch of alt-lines—and he found it all pretty funny.

Szymanski: I guess Lance Armstrong is not a guy known for saying, "Those are lines I shouldn't cross."

Samberg: That was Jake, just to clarify.

Szymanski: Put that on me.

How do the script and casting develop together? What adjustments need to be made based on who plays what role? Murray Miller: It definitely starts with the script and then, like a typical film, we look to cast the parts. I had some notion of who we wanted—and we got lucky enough to cast those people, for the most part—but there were some parts that we were unsure about, and the casting director figured out some names for us.

Samberg: Yeah. And when you cast Jeff Goldblum, you definitely write lines that you imagine being said by Jeff Goldblum. Stuff like that.

In 7 Days in Hell , Andy plays an Agassi-like figure, and you reference things like the Fire and Ice documentary, or the Isner-Mahut match at Wimbledon. Were there specific references you were going for with Tour de Pharmacy ? Szymanski: There's a great doc called Pantani and another great one called Slaying the Badger . There's a couple of other things we watched that inspired Murray when he was writing, and us when we were making it. Probably none of those were specific as a comedic take on this one movie, but we pulled from a couple different worlds of cycling and mashed it all together.

Samberg: In 7 Days in Hell , Fire and Ice was the touchpoint because it was on Wimbledon. But on this one, the idea was to pull from all the different crazy stories throughout the history of the sport, and Murray, when he started writing outlines, would go back through his sports knowledge and put together a big melange of crazy moments from that specific sport.

What about cycling inspired you? What's funny about it? Miller: I like that, in this country, it's really still a niche sport that a lot of people don't know about. I can take a little more liberty with it because I think people aren't so familiar with the rules. But, on top of that, we just like that there's not a comedy set in this world, the same way that there wasn't a well-known tennis comedy out there.

Samberg: Right. And also, Spandex.

One of the great bits in 7 Days in Hell is the digression when the main story is put on hold and you have this weird backstory about a courtroom sketch artist. This has something similar in an explainer of how red blood cells work. Is there something about documentaries that you're sending up, or is this just an absurdist streak at work? Miller: I think it's more the latter for me. I just took joy in writing this and being able to take it off on these bizarre tangents. At times it's like a sketch show.

Samberg: Part of why I think we have so much fun working in the mockumentary genre is that you can cut to pretty much anything at any time. People are now so conditioned to watch documentaries—they know how they operate, and that you can introduce a new character by cutting to them, and now they're in it. Similarly, being able to treat a sidebar idea that has nothing to do with your main story really seriously, the way the rest of it is being treated—all the pomp and circumstances lend themselves, I feel, to making comedy feel really earned and funnier and weirder. Obviously we are not the first people to do that, but we certainly love working in that tradition.

Szymanski: I also like, in documentaries, how they do take small tangents in order to understand the story. Even though it's a tangent to us or the viewer, that to the characters in the movie, to the talking heads, it's not a tangent—it's what everyone knows about if they know about this subject. It creates an extra, funny layer about what world they're in. If you follow cycling and this world, everyone knows about the 1981 Kultabank commercial, which is insane.

How do you go about explaining to, say, Chris Webber, how he'll be involved? It's such a wild tangent for him to be in the thing at all. Miller: Andy, you want to take that one? I think we're still waiting to explain to him how he was used. One of our producers ran into him and was like, "He's available and a fan," and he was nice enough to come down and let us shoot him. And we're fans.

Samberg: We are. We happened to have a bit about the Fab Five in the movie, so we were like, "Well, actually, this is already perfect," and we just kind of worked it in. But it was great to have him, and there's tons of stuff he did. Obviously his part in it is not huge. [ Laughs ]

"When we went to HBO with the idea of 7 Days , we said to them, 'Put this out like you would any documentary. Do it through HBO Sports. Don't tip off that it's a comedy.'"

I was surprised he was okay with the "time out" reference. Samberg: Yeah. Well, that's the fun of these things. Obviously I have a ton of training with this type of thing from SNL , because it's where people come to let the air out of whatever their thing is, but more power to him. I was a huge fan of him growing up when he was on the Warriors, because I'm from the Bay. So it was cool to have him involved.

Athletes aren't necessarily known for their tremendous senses of humor. Samberg: Yeah, man. I presented at the ESPYs. [ Laughs ]

Ideally, do you want viewers to discover these shows without knowing they're comedy? Miller: That was something Andy and I talked about really early on. When we went to HBO with the idea of 7 Days , we said to them, "Put this out like you would any documentary. Do it through HBO Sports. Don't tip off that it's a comedy," and I think HBO did a good job of marketing both of these—in terms of, at least, the key art on the billboards and such.

Samberg: I've definitely had people tell me that they were watching HBO, and it came on and thought it was going to be normal, and they realized that it was something that I worked on and it was insane and caught them off-guard. That was a delightful thing to hear.

Do you consider yourselves students of sports documentaries? Are there aspects you felt inclined to parody? Szymanski: I think that, definitely, part of the idea—especially when we made the first one—was that the 30 for 30 docs had become a very big thing, and there was a resurgence of sporting docs. I think that especially we were looking at those and saying, "This is slightly more specific than a regular documentary. How can we make our comedic version of this?"

Samberg: I think we consider ourselves avid viewers of them, and not necessarily "students." [ Laughs ]

Miller: I definitely started watching them more once I started writing these things.

Samberg: Murray, it's better the other way: We were students of the genre and we felt compelled to work in that genre.

What is your working relationship like, Andy and Murray, and what does it yield that's different from other partners? Samberg: Well, specifically 7 Days in Hell … we'd wanted to make a tennis comedy since we were at summer camp. Right, Mur?

Miller: Yeah. That's actually a real thing. It was extremely gratifying.

Samberg: As is known, I work with my friends quite a bit. It's just more fun. I've worked with Jake a long time, too. He came to SNL when I was there; we've known each other a long time and done a lot of stuff together. When you work with people and are friends with them also, you have more of a shorthand. I think people relax more and it opens the door to being less precious and trying things that, when you're shooting and writing, it becomes much more collaborative—therefore funny, hopefully.

Miller: The disagreements don't last as long. I remember, Andy, we disagreed on one thing and you said, "We've been friends so long that we'll always be friends. It doesn't matter anymore." So, yeah, there's less of a major disagreement during the creative process.

Samberg: As they would say in The Fast and the Furious , "It's family."

To what degree do you let cast members make their own weird contributions? I'm thinking of Will Forte choosing to read his lines in a phonetic French. Miller: Just to be clear: Will did not have any cue cards. He stayed up all night learning that in French, and it was very impressive.

Samberg: Considering he spoke no French until the night before, he did pretty good.

Miller: You definitely want any contribution that the actor wants to bring. I know Jeff Goldblum is basically wholly responsible for the outfit he ended up in.

Samberg: Yeah. He researched it.

"Chris Romano's dick is the Stan Lee of our universe. He'll have a cameo in every one."

Based on what? Samberg: Based on his character. He went through the world of the Internet and found a bunch of costume inspirations and sent them to us, and they were, frankly, brilliant.

Miller: He found an African designer that he liked and sent them to our costume designer for inspiration. I think that led to his amazing jumpsuit.

The film has a lot of the requisite HBO nudity, but the vast majority is full-frontal male. Is that some sort of commentary on your part, or are penises just funny? Miller: I worked on Girls for five years. Maybe I found some joy in showing full-frontal male nudity to change things up.

Samberg: For me, it was just a nice departure to do comedy about dicks. I never had really gotten to do that in music form or any form. It was a freeing thing for me.

Szymanski: That was my goal: to give Andy a chance to do a comedy that involved penises, because I thought he'd be good at it. Also, I can admit that, since being a child of the '80s and being seven years old, if you sneak on HBO and see that the upcoming program has "N" for nudity, you might get a little excited. I think we're equal-opportunity nude-showers.

Miller: Some of the inspiration definitely comes from the actor who has been naked now, twice [in 7 Days in Hell and Tour de Pharmacy ]. Chris Romano is a good friend, and this is what he's become known for. [ Laughs ]

Samberg: The only recurring character in both of the specials is Chris Romano's dick.

Szymanski: We definitely, because of Romano, are like, "How are we going to work his penis in?" I tell this story a lot and I will tell it again.

When we were shooting 7 Days in Hell , before Chris Romano was naked in our threesome-on-the-court scene, it was the day before we were shooting, we didn't have that role cast, and we were sitting around going, "Shoot, who's going to come do this? Do we know any guys who are willing to be naked?" And as we were having that conversation, Murray got a text from Chris Romano that was a picture of his penis. That is one of his running jokes: He sends friends a lot of photos of him naked. I did not know Chris as well at the time, but they were like, "Oh, of course. Why don't we ask Romano? He shows his penis all the time." Now we will have him do that in every one of these things we make, I think.

Miller: It's certainly my muse. Already thinking about the next one. "What sport is funniest to work Romano's dick into?"

Samberg: I think it's safe to say that Chris Romano's dick is the Stan Lee of our universe. He'll have a cameo in every one.

Can you, Andy, talk about your character and how you created it? Samberg: Well, we were trying to think of a reason for why I was clearly not in good shape and not good at cycling, so that was a good jumping-off point. Then the fact that the Tour is open to people from all over the world and we tried to have a nice variety of involved countries. I believe that's how it went down.

Miller: I initially had you from another country, and then I think you came up with, maybe based on another character you had in stand-up, "Chad." Based on that stand-up joke you used to have.

Samberg: That was funny. His dad had a diamond mine and all that. It's almost like we were going for comedy. We were like, "What if we did the opposite?" [ Laughs ] I caught myself trying to explain a joke there and failed.

If you do more, would it be sports you can plausibly be an athlete in? Samberg: Regardless of whether I would be in them or not, the idea is that they're called the Legend of Sport series. That's on the poster. We're trying to make people notice that they exist—that's our version of 30 for 30 . Definitely our hope, and in the discussions we've been having with HBO, is to make more and do a different sport each time.

Miller: Your question implies you found Andy a believable tennis player and cyclist, which means his director did a great job.

The stroke seemed solid. Samberg: I was better at tennis than cycling, and better at tennis than Kit Harington—which was really a good win for me.

Miller: He had taken one lesson, so he wasn't a hard guy to beat.

Samberg: It's like Forte and French.

You're all rigorous in your preparation for these. Miller: You're starting to get a sense of how these things are made.

Szymanski: When you asked the question about Forte, I had an honest moment of panic. Because we had been shooting for 48 hours straight, we thought that Forte had knocked it out of the park with his French.
