168澳洲5最新开奖结果:DSM-Firmenich PostNL have announced their eight-man roster for the upcoming 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France, with sprinter 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Jakobsen and climber Romain Bardet their headline riders asౠ t💯hey chase stage wins.
It’s been a tough season for former Toℱur stage winner Jakobsen after joi🦋ning from Soudal Quick-Step at the end of 2023, having only managed one win in 2024.
His Gr✤and Tour debut for DSM-Firm꧒enich-PostNL also went poorly at last month’s Giro d’Italia and ultimately ended with an abandon after a crash on stage 11, without showing much form.
“I am really excited to take on my first Tour de France with Team dsm-firmenich PostNL. We bring a really strong group to the race that can go for stage success on every terrain. I have a nice group around me to target the sprint stages, but with Warren, Frank, Oscar, and Romain, we also have really stron🍸g riders for the hilly and mountainous stages,” said Jakobsen in a team release.
“We aim to show strong teamwork and really fight for each other, and 𒐪if we perform at a high level, I believe we can have a great race together. I can’t wait to g♐et started.”
Leading out the Jakobsen, 27, in the six or seven sprint opportunities will be the experienced John Degenkolb, also a former stage winner at the Tour in 2018, debutant Bram Welten and Niℱls Eekhoff, who returns for his fourth Tour.
Twice a podium finisher at the Tour de France, Bardet wi🤪ll ride his 11th and final ho꧅me Grand Tour after announcing that he would retire from road racing after next☂ year’s Critérium du Dauphiné last week.

♏Bardet won’t be going for GC and is instead set to chase stage wins. He’ll be helped on the uphill terrain by two-time Tour stage winner and former KOM jersey Warren Barguil, alongside Tour debutants Frank van den Broek and Oscar Onley.
“This year we come in with the sole focus of going for day results, whether that be in the sprint finishes, in the mounta🐻ins or on the rolling 💙terrain in between,” said coach Matt Winston.
"We believe everyone in the team 𒅌can play a role in the finale on the right stage and in the right circum🔴stances. We will need to show good teamwork from the off as we can expect a hard start on the climbs in Italy, before some sprint opportunities after that.”
