“Our ambition for the Tour 2023 is to take our very first stage win and to finish in the top ten of the final classification," team performance manager Aike Visbeek said in a press release announcing the lineup. "To achieve this, last winter we built a strong and experienced group around our leaders Biniam Girmay and Louis Meintjes. This group raced often together and this from our first races of the season on Majorca."

Meintjes will chase a GC result in a suiting route after a brilliant 2022 where he finished 7th at the Tour and won a stage at the Vuelta a Espana. After finishing 7th at the Criterium du Dauphiné, he has shown good form ahead of the race. Lilian Calmejane, Rui Costa and Georg Zimmermann will be chasing breakaway wins in the hilly days, forming a dangerous trio, all of which riders who come in with good form - the latter a recent stage winner at the Criterium du Dauphiné.
But Biniam Girmay will nevertheless headline the lineup, a debut that has been highly anticipated. The Eritrean will be chasing stage wins in the bunch sprints, whilst his ability to climb will allow him to fight for wins on days that don't suit the pure fast men. He will be highly supported by Mike Teunissen, Adrien Petit and Dion Smith who will be setting him up for the sprints.
Intermarché - Circus - Wanty for Tour de France:

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
