The INEOS Grenadiers have unveiled their lineup for the upcoming Tour de France. One of the riders involved will be one of the stars of last year's edition of the race, Tom Pidcock.
"I’m really excited to be back at the Tour de France for what promises to be another beautiful three weeks," the 23-year-old British rider told the official website of the INEOS Grenadiers following the announcement of the lineup. "To win an iconic stage and wear the white jersey in 2022 are lifelong memories, and this year I want to build on that as I continue to progress my career."
The tactics of the INEOS Grenadiers aren't fully clear as of yet. Whilst the likes of Egan Bernal, Daniel Martinez, Carlos Rodriguez and potentially Pidcock himself could all potentially ride for the top 10 in the general classification, the possibility is also there that they hunt stage wins instead.

"We’ve got an exciting group of riders and we’ll be looking to race with intent and be tactically smart, as we execute the plans we’ve developed as a team," continues Pidcock. "As I experienced for the first time last year, the Tour is the toughest race of all, but it’s also the most beautiful and historic - which is what makes it so iconic. The opportunity to tackle it again alongside my teammates and some of the best riders in the world, in front of so many passionate fans, is one that I relish."
