INEOS test Tour de France team at the Tour de Suisse; Martínez, Yates and Pidcock lead the way

INEOS Grenadiers will go into the Tour de France ambitious and they will be testing their lineup at the Tour de Suisse unlike the team's usual approach at the Dauphiné.

With seven of the eight riders that will be at the start in Copenhagen, this race will not only be a test of form for the riders but also it will conduct some order into the team's aspirations for July in terms of goals and ambitions. Leading the overall classification tilt will be the duo of Daniel Martínez and Adam Yates who have been racing together this year, going in for a co-leadership that puts them in a position of main favourites for the overall win.

The team also features Geraint Thomas, a specialist in one-week races and Tom Pidcock who is back on the road after the Ardennes classics and will - besides working in support of leaders - eye stage wins in the many hilly days that lie ahead. The main supporting block for the Tour will also be present, with Paris-Roubaix winner Dylan van Baarle, road captain Luke Rowe and Omar Fraile.
