Tarling, Hayter and Sheffield hunt success for INEOS Grenadiers at Cro Race

The Cro Race begins this Thursday and INEOS Grenadiers will head into it with a strong lineup in search of victories, in the absence of Jumbo-Visma and UAE Team Emirates.

There will be five teams on the startlist at World Tour level, the British team will be searching victories in the sprints with Ethan Hayter and Elia Viviani. This year the race will lack high mountains and so the fight for the overall classification will be relatively open, puncheurs can be in the mix and Magnus Sheffield is likely to headline it's ambitions in that form.

The lineup is completed by newly crowned European time-trial champion Joshua Tarling, alongside Luke Plapp and Connor Swift who should have domestique roles.

INEOS Grenadiers for Cro Race: Ethan Hayter, Luke Plapp, Luke Rowe, Magnus Sheffield, Connor Swift, Joshua Tarling and Elia Viviani.
