Adam Yates and Ewan headline Orica-Scott's Tour de Pologne squad
Australian team targets stage wins and GC victory





168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Orica-Scott young guns 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Caleb Ewan and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Adam Yates headline the team stage and GC ambitions at the 2017 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de Pologne. Both riders enjoyed success at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia in May witꦫh Ewan winning a stage and Yates the best young rider classific⛄ation.
Ewan has several top-five results in hi🦋s two previous appearances at the Tour de Pologne and will be backed in for a win in his first race since June. Yates will receive team backing on the harder GC stages with sports director Dave McPartland ouꦛtlining the dual-pronged approach.
"We have a really balanced team with a couple of guys who can really support Ewan on the stages that suit and then guys who can provide support for Yates on the hiller days. The team is really diverse and the type of riders we have will be able to cross over with their roles in supporting both Ewan and Yates," said McPartland. "Tour of P💯oland isn't a small race, it's WorldTour and I expect it will be re🌱ally hard. We will have a measured, two-pronged approach to the racing with having goals for both sprint stage wins while also looking to the general classification."
Sam Bewley and recently crowned Slovenian national champion Luke Mezgec will primarily be riding in service of Ewan in the sprint days while Yates can count on support from Ruben Plaza, Rob Power and Jack Haig. With more﷽ mountains than previous years, McPartland added the team selection was adjusted as a result.
"It certainly looks on paper like a harder tour this year with three uph༺ill finishes. I think Yates is in really good shape to challenge for the overall so it should be a good race for us wit♔h this strong mixed team," McPartland said. "Most of the stages are fairly short, around 150kilometres with stage four the only real lengthy stage, so it should make for a week of fast and exciting racing."
The 2017 Tour de Pologne starts July 29 with a sﷺtage in Kraków and concludes August 4 at Bukowina Tatrzanska.
