(Brussels) Reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard will be supported by some of the best cyclists in the world as he tries to defend his title.
The Jumbo-Visma team has revealed the composition of its team for the biggest cycling competition on Monday. It offers a good balance between experience and talent, in addition to good protection for Vingegaard for flat stages, as well as significant help in the mountains.
Wout van Aert, Dylan van Baarle, Sepp Kuss, Tiesj Benoot, Christophe Laporte, Nathan Van Hooydonck and Wilco Kelderman will support Vingegaard.
The Tour de France will start on Saturday from Bilbao, Spain.
Jumbo-Visma has won six events and won the polka dot, green and yellow jerseys in 2022. The Dutch team has already won a Grand Tour this year, when Primoz Roglic got his hands on the Giro in May. Roglic skipped the Tour de France.
Vingegaard dethroned 2021 champion Tadej Pogacar last year with some memorable performances in the mountains.
