By Julien Pretot ANNECY, France (Reuters) - If Tour de France organizers wanted the soccer World Cup to end before the race started to heat up, then it is mission accomplished. No clear favorite has emerged from the opening block of racing as all the top riders, with the exception of Richie Porte, are still in contention on the first rest day before grueling stages in the Alps. World champion Peter Sagan is firmly on course to win a record-equaling sixth green jersey for the points classification after winning two stages, just like sprinters Dylan Groenewegen and Fernando Gaviria.
