Tudor Pro Cycling Team have confirmed their lineup for the 2026 Giro d’Italia, with Michael Storer set to lead their general classification ambitions as the team continues its search for a first ever Grand Tour stage victory.
This will be Tudor’s third appearance at the Giro, and their most balanced squad to date reflects a clear dual objective. There is a defined leader for the overall standings, but also depth across the team to target opportunities throughout the three weeks.

Storer returns as GC reference point

Storer arrives with a consistent Giro track record, having finished inside the top 10 in each of his last two appearances. That reliability gives Tudor a credible foothold in the general classification.
Alongside him, there is added interest in the inclusion of Mathys Rondel, who heads into his Grand Tour debut on the back of a top-five finish at the Tour of the Alps. While not positioned as a second GC leader, his climbing ability offers support in the mountains and potential freedom to move.

Depth across terrain

In the mountains, Storer is supported by Will Barta and Larry Warbasse, both capable of contributing on longer climbs. There is also a versatile layer to the team. Florian Stork arrives after a strong run of form that includes a stage podium in 2025 and a notable showing at Eschborn-Frankfurt.
On flatter and reduced sprint stages, Luca Mozzato, Robin Froidevaux and Fabian Lienhard provide opportunities to contest finishes and breakaways.

Chasing a first Grand Tour stage

While a top-10 GC result remains a realistic target through Storer, the team’s broader objective is equally clear. Tudor are still chasing their first Grand Tour stage victory, and this lineup offers multiple routes to achieve it.
With riders capable of getting into breakaways across a range of terrain, the team are not reliant on a single scenario. In a Giro where several established contenders are already absent, that flexibility could prove valuable.
