INEOS bet on depth to tackle tough Il Lombardia route

INEOS Grenadiers will have their eyes on Filippo Ganna later tonight in their attempt to further enhance the Hour Record, however at Il Lombardia they will equally be aiming high, with a team full of top climbers to fight for a strong result.

Adam Yates, who showed great form in Canada last month, will be a strong opponent for the likes of Tadej Pogacar and Enric Mas at the Italian monument. He's finished the recent Tre Valli Varesine in sixth position and will have a suiting route here. Daniel Martínez, who overcame a disappointing Tour de France is also back to form and won the Coppa Sabatini a few weeks ago, he will be a dangerous rider.

The team will be able to count on Pavel Sivakov and Carlos Rodríguez who had a very strong month of August, and also Tao Geoghegan Hart who may on a good day be up there near the front with the best. The lineup is concluded by Ben Tulett and Laurens de Plus, who on their best day could be outsiders themselves for a good result.

INEOS Grenadiers for Il Lombardia: Adam Yates, Laurens de Plus, Tao Geoghegan Hart, Daniel Martínez, Carlos Rodríguez, Pavel Sivakov and Ben Tulett.
