Jonas Vingegaard has been a dominant force in cycling since his rise to the top echelon of the sport and is one of the favourites for the Tour de France 2023 but will the defending champion be able to resist the attacks of Tadej Pogacar and his strengthened UAE Team Emirates Team?

Jonas Vingegaard was out for more glory and managed with the help of his Jumbo Visma team to isolate most of the other leaders before Attila Valter flicked the elbow and Vingegaard inflicted the devastating blow. Adam Yates was the best of the rest and Victor Campenaerts takes of the polka dot jersey and Max Poole in the white.

On a day for the breakaway before the mountains, Georg Zimmerman of Intermache Circus Wanty managed to take the victory. Vingegaard manages to counter any moves, however there was some key contenders losing time such as David Gaudu and Mikel Landa.

In a hilly stage it seemed to be a calm day for the GC teams however that quickly changed as Alaphilippe and Carapaz attacked. Jonas Vingegaard responded and dropped everyone before winning the stage solo. Mikkel Bjerg had a badly timed crash and lost the jersey to his fellow countryman.

It was a rolling time trial and Mikkel Bjerg managed to win his first ever world tour win in front of fellow dane Jonas Vingegaard but the defending Tour de France is in the prime position for the general classification win.

The 2023 Tour de Suisse offers an alternative to the French chaos of the Dauphiné. This year, we are set to see a re-match of the Giro d'Italia with Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič on the startline. Supported by a cast of Biniam Girmay, Wout van Aert, Juan Ayuso and Filippo Ganna, this year's Tour de Suisse could be an interesting affair.

The 2023 Giro d'Italia had plenty of narratives but which teams had a better race and which had a blunder. But Jumbo Visma and UAE Team Emirates can be seen as two of the best performers and potentially Team Arkea Samsic as one of the worst. Geraint Thomas and Ineos Grenadiers only missed out by 14 seconds on the win.

Mark Cavendish managed to add another Giro stage to his incredible palmares and saved Astana's Giro d'Italia with an impressive performance in the final sprint in Rome.
