The Tour de France has seen today it's first team announcing the lineup, Uno-X Pro Cycling Team are making their long-awaited debut in the Grand Boucle with an ambitious lineup which includes Alexander Kristoff and Tobias Johannessen who will search success.
Alexander Kristoff, a four-time stage winner at the Tour, will be hunting success in the sprints. He will be supported by under-23 time-trial World Champion Soren Waerenskjold who has just finished second to Mathieu van der Poel in the Baloise Belgium Tour. Jonas Abrahamsen, who briefly led the Tour de Pologne last year, should be a crucial part of that support, whilst classics specialist Rasmus Tiller will also be there but have partial focus on breakaways - as will Jonas Gregaard.
However the team does not come ill prepared towards the mountains. Showing his first signs of form recently, he finished the Criterium du Dauphiné in 15th spot but was close to a stage win. However Torstein Traeen stepped up to the role there, finishing eighth in the overall classification. The lineup is concluded by Anthon Charmig who is himself a strong climber, having won a hilly stage at the Tour of Oman last year where he also achieved a few GC results.
Uno-X Pro Cycling Team for Tour de France:
Alexander Kristoff, Jonas Gregaard, Rasmus Tiller, Tobias Johannessen, Torstein Traeen, Jonas Abrahamsen, Anthon Charmig and Soren Waerenskjold.
