EF Education complete Tour de France startlist with stage-hunting squad
CyclingWednesday, 29 June 2022 at 14:01
EF Education-EasyPost were, as traditionally, the last team to announce their Tour de France lineup, having revealed eight riders that will be fighting for stage wins across the three weeks on multiple terrains.
Starting with Stefan Bissegger who will be one of the main contenders for the opening time-trial and yellow jersey. The Swiss will also be a threat in the rolling stages if in breakaways, alongside Jonas Rutsch and Owain Doull who can also take up the task of protecting Rigoberto Urán in the flat stages in case the Colombian heads for a general classification assault.
Urán has not had an easy season, with little results to hint at a danger for the GC. Most likely he will be going for stage wins in the mountains, alongside Ruben Guerreiro the recent winner of the Mont Ventoux Dénivelé Challenge.
The team is then completed by three riders who are brilliant options for the hilly days. One in Neilson Powless who just came off an impressive Tour de Suisse where he finished fourth in the overall classification; other is Alberto Bettiol who finally showed his form in Suisse and will be eyeing breakaways and the cobbled stage; and finally there is Magnus Cort Nielsen who is not only a threat for breakaways on such stages, also the hard sprint days will see him as a valid option for a stage win.
