Favorites to win the 2023 Tour de France

Favorites to win the 2023 Tour de France

Fans, as is customary, are looking forward with eagerness to the beginning of the race on July 1, 2023, which will mark the beginning of the 2023 Tour de France. The journey, which will take place over a period of three weeks and cover a total distance of 3,404 kilometers, promises to be amazing. The cyclists will compete in a total of 21 stages, one of which is a time trial, while seven stages will be sprints. On the other hand, everyone’s talking about who will come out on top and claim the coveted yellow jersey. Let’s have a look at the contenders that are likely to win the Tour de France in 2023.

Pogačar vs. Vingegaard

According to the latest odds from GSB, Tadej Pogačar is the big favorite to win the race. The Slovenian of Team UAE Emirates had an excellent 2022 season, and his 2023 season is bordering on perfection. Pogačar has achieved twelve victories in just eighteen days of racing, winning prestigious races such as Paris-Nice, the Tour of Flanders, the Amstel Gold Race, and the Freccia Wallonne. He is the big favorite for the scheduled Liège-Bastogne-Liège on April 23rd. Pogačar has the ability to go strong on all terrains, and year after year, he is proving that he can get close to the legend Eddy Merckx.

On the other hand, Jonas Vingegaard, the winner of the 2022 Tour de France, is following a preparation path studied in every detail in order to be able to replicate last year’s feat. He won the tough Tour of the Basque Country in early April, and with his team, Jumbo-Visma, he is confident that he can win the yellow jersey again. His teammate, Primoz Roglic, will compete in the Giro d’Italia as captain and will be at the start of the Grande Boucle as Vingegaard’s main standard-bearer, as will Wout Van Aert, ready to showcase his unlimited talent. The supporters will be fundamental in trying to undermine Pogačar’s resistance, which, at least from the start, seems difficult to beat. It must be said that this year the two have already crossed paths at Paris-Nice, clearly won by Pogacar, but in July the values in the field could change.

Can Remco Evenepoel Win?

According to GSB, Remco Evenepoel, the road world champion and the winner of the Vuelta a España 2023, is the third favorite. The Belgian rider with Soudal-QuickStep is yet another of the great talents that have emerged from cycling’s golden generation. However, it is uncertain whether he will compete in the Tour de France in 2023; it is more likely that he will concentrate on the Giro d’Italia  instead. Fans are anxiously anticipating a battle between him, Pogacar, and Vingegaard, but it is likely that they will have to wait until next year to see it.

Alternative Favorites

There is a possibility that Enric Mas, the captain of the Movistar Team, will play the role of the primary outsider. This season, he has been in good shape, and with his experience and endurance, he might be a serious contender for the yellow jersey. Jai Hindley, who rides for the BORA-hansgrohe team, is another racer you should keep an eye on. In the early part of the season, he has been displaying some excellent form, and going into the Tour de France, he will be eager to build on this success and continue his strong performance.

EKITANGAZA KYA WEEKEND ONLINE PREVIEW (5th May)

EKITANGAZA KYA WEEKEND ONLINE PREVIEW, TIPS & PREDICTIONS 5th, 6th & 7th MAY 2023

1. Vipers Vs Kampala City (U2.5) Friday

Vipers are currently 3rd placed host 2nd placed KCCA as the race for the Ugandan Premier league continues. With a game in hand, the hosts are just 3 points behind KCCA and I do expect an exciting game at St. Mary’s stadium as both sides will not want to lose the 3 points. I do anticipate an U2.5 due to respect from each side for the other

2. Zamalek Vs Al Ahly (O2.5) Friday

It’s the final of the Egyptian Super Cup as two titans of Egyptian and African football at large meet in a big one today. Just expect an end to end going football game as both feel they are better than the other and they are both currently in high flying form. Of course it’s a neutral ground expect fire. 4/5 last H2H meetings have seen Over 2.5 goals.

3. Perugia Vs Cagliari (HT Over 0.5) Friday

With 3 games to go, Cagliari currently 6th placed still have a chance to enter Serie A promotion play off semifinals with just 4 points behind 4th placed Sudtirol. Perugia are 18th placed fighting relegation to Serie c making them badly need at least a result in this game. Both sides badly need this game and I do see a goal before the end of half time

4. Belshina Vs Bate (2) Saturday

Belshina have not won a game from their last 7 competitive games losing 5 and drawing twice. Well they are home but I do not see them stopping 4th placed Bate basing on the fact that they are sitting at the bottom of the log and have also lost 4/5 last H2H meetings with the guests.

5. St. Liege Vs Gent (O2.5) Saturday

At stade Maurice Dufrasne St. Liege host Gent as the Belgian top tier continues. It’s the conference league group as both sides have so far played one game with the former drawing and the latter winning. I do anticipate an over 2.5 as both sides have a forward going tactical game approach as 3/5 of their last H2H meetings have seen O2.5

6. Victoria Plzen Vs Slovaco (1) Saturday

At the Doosan Arena, Plzen host Slovacko as the race for European spots continues in the Czech top tier. Being home I do see Plzen edging the guests as 3 points will get them to 60 points edging their gap with 2nd placed Slavia Prague. 4/5 last H2H meetings have seen Plzen win.

7. St. Gallen Vs Young Boys (2&O2.5) Saturday

At Kybunpark, struggling St. Gallen host Young boys as the Switzerland Super League continues. St. Gallen have not won a game from their last 10 fixtures and have conceded in each of these 10 games. Young Boys ar already comfirmed as champions but I do see them winning this with an Over as they continue to try set a new record of points in the league. 7/7 last H2H meetings between the two sides have made 2.5 over.

8. Olympiacos Vs Panathinaikos (X2&U3.5) Sunday

Panathinaikos are 2nd placed on the log with equal points (77) with leaders AEK Athens as the race for who takes it in Greece continues. Olympiacos have not won a game against Panathinaikos in their last 5 H2H meetings and given the fact that the guests are chasing the league, I do not see them losing. Still 4/5 last H2H meetings saw U2.5

9. Cartagena Vs Burgos (O1.5) Sunday

Cartagen 7th and Burgos 8th placed are both pushing hard to enter the top 6 so as to play in La Liga promotion play offs. I do anticipate an end to end game approach from both sides since the 3 points are so vital for either side. Over 2+ goals is the safest odd youwill ever find in this fixture

10. Malmo Vs AIK (1) Sunday

Malmo currently 2nd placed with equal points with log leaders Hacken will badly seek for these 3 points today as they host 14th placed AIK at Eleda stadion in Malmo. Malmo have won all their last 5 games and I do not see struggling AIK stopping them this afternoon.

~GOOD LUCK~
