INEOS Grenadiers Tour de France lineup with up to four leaders close to taking its final shape

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.

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- 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
