More than a dozen men have a chance to capture the gold medal when cycling starts at the Tokyo Games this weekend.

American rider Sepp Kuss has won the grueling 15th stage of the Tour de France while overall race leader Tadej Pogacar remained on course for his second overall victory.

Bauke Mollema has won a hilly 14th stage of the Tour de France while Tadej Pogacar protected his commanding lead before the race heads into the Pyrenees.

Roglic, the Spanish Vuelta champion, used the race's first summit finish Tuesday in the ski resort of Orcieres-Merlette to erase any lingering doubts surrounding his form. Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe managed to follow the late accelerations and kept the race leader's yellow jersey after crossing the line in fifth place. Roglic couldnt drop any of his rivals but used his power to prevail in the sprint launched by Frenchman Guillaume Martin with 500 meters left. Overall, Alaphilippe kept a four-second lead over Adam Yates of Britain, with Roglic three seconds further back. Stage 5 will take riders from Gap to Privas on a mainly flat route suited for sprinters.
