ORICA-GreenEDGE has named its nine-man Tour de France squad. The line-up has been built with a focus on stage wins in both the sprints and the hillier stages.
"It was difficult to select the final nine," said Sports Director Matt White. "We have more than nine riders that are ready for the Tour de France. It's a good problem to have. When picking the team, we have to identify the team goals and pick the best riders to achieve those goals over the three weeks. I'm confident with the selection we've made that we can meet the objectives we yrh uku Xncb."
