"Whilst very much in the learning and deve༺lopment phase of their careers, we have nevertheless already seen them taking great strides forwards this year with Egan, Pavel and Chris Lawless all winning stage races and Tao, Ivan, Jhonatan, Sebastian and Eddie all ridin꧟g exceptionally well. With this developmental goal in mind, we have chosen to field our youngest-ever team for a Grand Tour and it’s fitting it should be our first one as Team Ineos. Egan’s injury is a real shame as he was to lead the team in a Grand Tour for the first time. However, I’m sure he will be fighting fit come July."
Knees’ experience from 19 Grand Tours wil♕l prove vital for such a young team, but Henao, who finished 17th in the 2017 edition of the Giro, will also be relied upon.🐲 The Colombian failed to make a Grand Tour team in 2018 but has been a dependable mountain domestique since joining the team. Puccio has also been a mainstay for the squad in the Giro for several years, only missing the race once since 2013.
Without a genuine top-level sprinter within their ranks, and w﷽ith little time to prepare after Bernal’s late injury, Brailsford admitted that the team’s approach would not alter too much.
"We will not dramatically change our approach to the race as we will s🔜till look to give each rider the greatest developmental opportunities and to learn and gain as much ♏experience as possible," the Team Ineos boss added.
"Whilst we have set ourselves some clear targets and goals, the most important thing is to animate the race, embra𒆙ce it and enjoy it too – as a young team we reall💖y want them to feel an excitement and anticipation of taking on this adventure and to test themselves and see where they get to."
