Despite multiple crashes, 2021 Tour de France goes on

For the second year in a row, Tadej Pogacar, the 22-year-old Slovenian from UAE Team Emirates, has won the Tour de France, the annual cycling grand tour that traverses France each summer in a pack known as a peloton. Starting this year on June 26 in Brest, a town in Bretagne in the northwest of France, and concluding on July 18 at the Champs-Elysees in Paris, this Tour began with crashes that shaped the field for the next three weeks of racing.
