Refresh

Hello and welcome to today's live coverage as we count down to the start of the 2021 Tour de France.

More news and press conference quotes to come today, the final day before the Tour kicks off in Brest.

Of course, the team presentation was yesterday. Alpecin-Fenix sported an eye-catching look, but the kit was a one-off for the presentation, unfortunately.
