In a series of Twitter posts on Tuesday 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team Katusha revealed the nine men, including 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alexander Kristoff and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Joaquim Rodriguez, that lead the team in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France, set to start on July 2 in Mont-Saint-Michel.

Kri༒stoff was the first rider revealed and will no doubt lead the team in the sprints at this year’s event. The Norwegian is two-time stage winner, securing those victories in the 2014 edition of the race, while last year𝓀 his best finish was third place in stage 15. To help with the sprints are Jacopo Guarnieri and Michael Mørkøv and strong-man Marco Haller.

The team al💎so announced climbing duo Rodriguez and Ilnur Zakarin to the Tour team. Rodriguez has competed in 23 Grand Tours, and this will be his fifth Tour de France. His best overall placing was tꦺhird in 2013. He won two stages; in Huy and in Plateau de Beille, and placed 29th overall last year.

Rodriguez set his sights on performing well at this year’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France and the Olympic Games. He has raced a full spring campaign that started at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana and then Volta ao Algarve, where he did not finish. He also raced Tirreno-Adriatico, Volta a Catalunya, aಌnd Pais Vasco, where he was fifth🍰 overall. His Ardennes Classics were mediocre as he did not finish Amstel Gold due to a crash, was 28th at La Fleche Wallonne and eighth at Liege-Bastogne-Liege. He recently competed at the Criterium du Dauphine but pulled out on stage 7.

Zakarin was a part of Katusha’s Giro d’Italia team where he abandoned during stage 19 to Risoul. While sitting in fifth overall, he crashed on the descent of tཧhe massive Colle dell'𒅌Agnello🌸 that left him with a fractured collarbone and shoulder. He will likely want to comeback with a strong performan✃ce at the Tour de France.

Two-time finisher on the oveall podium at the Tour de France, Jurgen Van den Broeck will also be there to provide assistance in the mountains, while also having a shot at a top placing himself. Also to✤ help in the mountains are Alberto Losada and Angel Vicioso.

Team Katusha for the Tour de France: Alexander Kristoff, Joaq🥀uim Rodriguez, Ilnur Zakarin, Alberto Losada, Michael Morkov, Jurgen van den Broeck, Marco Haller, Angel Vicioso and Jacopo Guarnieri.
