Tour de France: Gaudu, Kung to support Pinot in Groupama-FDJ's squad
French team picks proven roster





168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Groupama-FDJ has selected a proven team of seven riders to support 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Thibaut Pinot for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France.
Pinot won the Tour de l'Ain and Tour du Haut Var this season, and, as a former podium finisher in 2014, has made the Tour de 𓆉France his major focus for the year after skipping🎀 the race last season.
Directeur sportif Y🍷von Madiot introduced the team in a press release, calling🧸 Pinot a "relentless fighter".
"We are expecting to see Thibaut fighting with the best at the most intense moments," Madiot said. "I want to see an aggressive rider. I am expecting the Thibaut Pinot wh🔯o thrives on great attacks in the mountains. This way, by being an attacker, the general classification will come automat✨ically."
Key to Pinot's challenge for the podium will be David Gaudu, winner of the best young rider's jersey in the Tour de Romandie, and new recruit Stefan Küng who will le🌱ad the squad in the team time trial.
"One cannot conceal the fact that David has become one of the best climbers in the world now. After his third place at the UAE Tour general classification, his sixth p⛄la🌼ce at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and his recent stage victory at Tour de Romandie, David came forward every time we expected him.
"Essential to t⛦he group next to Thibaut Pinot, he will also have his own opportunities in the mountains. We are expecting him as a trouble-maker. He will be the one to destabiliseꦯ our opponents to enable his leader to place an attack," Madiot said.

The team is completed by trusted domestiques Willi♕am Bonnet, Anthony Roux, Matthieu Ladagnous, Rudy M🐼olard and Sebastian Reichenbach.
