Visma | Lease a Bike with Jonas Vingegaard. UAE Team Emirates with Tadej Pogacar. Which team is next to confirm their Tour de France lineup? It seems like the ball rolls over to INEOS Grenadiers.
At least that should be the case according to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, which claims the British team's lineup is close to complete. Six names appear to be a certainty while the remaining two spots are to be filled out in next days.

So who's in? Well, it's not a big mystery as the team has been very transparent about their selection for Grande Boucle. INEOS won't enter the race with a clear leader, however it's clear it'll be between 2019 winnner Egan Bernal, 2018 winner Geraint Thomas, young Carlos Rodríguez and the ever-ambitious Tom Pidcock. The four potential leaders will be backed up by strong Laurens De Plus and experienced Michal Kwiatkowski.
However the battle for remaining spots appears to be open at the moment, with three candidates for just two tickets to Florence. The names in consideration are all-rounder Omar Fraile, rouleur Ben Turner and experienced mountain domestique Jonathan Castroviejo.
