Backing up for the Dutch-based team will be Sepp Kuss, Steven Kruijswijk, Christophe Laporte, Tiesj Benoot and Nathan Van Hooydonck. “We have several ambitions, so we have chosen riders who are the best at different terrains”, said the team’s director, Merijn Zeeman.

«We have to guide our leaders safely through the first hectic week but also be able to make it difficult for the other Tour favourites in the mountains. “Wout also deserves sufficient support in his hunt for stage victories and the green jersey.

This squad is fit and, in our view, capable of pursuing our ambitions in the best way possible.” Thomas 'easy' over Tour de France leadership after Tour de Suisse win 'Phenomenal!' — Pogacar wins thrilling Stage 5 finish as chasing group suffer falls The Tour de France begins with the Grand Depart in Copenhagen on July 1 and concludes in Paris on July 24. — — - Watch every
