The US participation at the upcoming 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France has received a significant boost as Lidl-Trek confirmed their start list, including American national champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Quinn Simmons, while Spanish World Tour team Movistar's eight riders for the Tour, also announced Monday, had 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Will Barta in their number.
Simmons' inclusion comes after a solid run of early summer success for the rider from Durango, Colorado, including a second national title, and an impressive 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:solo stage win at the Tꦯour de Suisse.
This will be the 24-year-old Simmons' third Tour participation, and his first since he was a DNS on stage 9 of the 2023 race following a bad crash on stage 5. According🐭 to a team press release, his main role will be as a team worker in the opening parts of flat and transition stages, keeping breakaways under control to try and ensure a bunch sprint for Italian fast man Jonathan Milan.
Lidl-Trek said in the same release that their te💃am had multiple goals f✤or the Tour, with Mattias Skjelmose going for GC, while Milan is making his debut in France.
“The first stage in particular is 🌜super important for him," said sports director Steveಞn de Jongh.
"There is the opportunity to win the first yellow jersey of the race an🌳d Jonny will have𝔉 his lead-out train with him: Jasper Stuyven, Edward Theuns and Simone Consonni.
"Quinn Simmons, who is coming into the race off the back of a really great stage win at Tour de Suisse, will be the team's dedicated puller. So he has to ride a lot of kilometres in front to make it possible to have a sprint while Toms Skujins will do the final positioning and he will also🧸 take care of Mattias.
"Then, finally we have Thibau Nys making a big step up by racing theဣ Tour de France as his first-ever Grand Tour and there are definitely stages along the way that can suit him."
Three standout figures missing from the Lidl-Trek roster are Tao Geoghegan Hart, who is ill, Julien Bernard, who raced well in the French Nationals and the rওecent Andorra Classic and Juanpe López, fourth in the Spani🧸sh Nationals on Sunday.
Will Barta, meanwhile, having raced the Vuelta a España twice and the Giro d'Italia three times, will make his debut in the Tour de France at 29 for Movistar.🥃 Like Simmons, Barta rode well in the Tour de Suisse, finishing twelfth overall, and at the Tour, ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe'll be combining his team duties for leader Enric Mas with potential stage-hunting opportunities.
Movistar will also include three other debutants: Pablo Castrillo, Colombian GC hopeful Einer Rubio and the new 💦Spanish National Road Champion, 21-year-old Iván R♔omeo.
