Pogacar lines up Saturday in the northern city of Lille with his confidence sky-high, boosted by a stellar first half of the season punctuated with prestigious wins in both one-day and stage races.

This year, the Slovenian rider won a third Liege-Bastogne-Liege title and other one day-classics. Most recently, he won the Criterium du Dauphine, a Tour tuneup, with a dominant display in the mountains.

"I'm lucky to have had close to the perfect preparation this year," the UAE Team Emirates leader said. "Everything has gone really smoothly, especially coming off a great altitude camp with my teammates."
