A few hours before the grand start of the Tour de France 2020, initially planned for the end of June but postponed to 29 August because of the health crisis, we do not know how to give a favorite for the final victory. The 2 large armadas will be present : Bernal's Ineos et Roglic's Jumbo-Visma. The recent winner of the Tour de l'Ain will have a high-level squad with teammates like Kuss, From the mill, Bennett ou encore Wout van Aert. Ineos side, Bernal will be able to count on Carapaz, young Sivakov, Amador or Encore Castroviejo. Apart from these two big favorites we find the Franche-Comté Thibaut Pinot who will try to win his 1st Grand Tour, supported by a solid team oriented to 100% towards this goal. But many outsiders will also be there, starting with the last winner of the Dauphiné, Daniel Martinez, supported by Sergio Higuita and Rigoberto Uran. In the Colombian clan we also find Miguel Angel Lopez or the man in good shape before the truce, Quintana nairo. French side, Guillaume Martin should do well thanks to his good performances on the Dauphiné, while Romain Bardet, who seems to want to focus on the steps, might still want to try his luck. Also note the great Barhein McLaren team with teammates such as Wout Poels or Damiano Caruso to take Mikel Landa. In short, unless 2 days of the big start there are many favorites and outsiders, it's time to get wet and try your predictions, although this edition promises to be particularly exciting and unpredictable
