Six teams that participated in this summer’s Tour de France, including home favourites INEOS Grenadiers, headline the field for the 20th edition of the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men this September, which has been announced on Wednesday. 18 teams from 12 countries will line-up in Scotland for stage one on Tuesday 3 September for a field of 108 riders.
Four UCI WorldTour teams will head to Britain, with regular participants INEOS Grenadiers and Team dsm-firmenich PostNL joined by race debutants Bahrain - Victorious, and the return of one of the race’s most successful teams, Soudal - Quick-Step, who will race in Britain for the first time since 2021 when they took the last of their 23 stage wins on the Isles.
At the same time another three WorldTour teams will give their development teams a chance to taste the atmosphere of top-level racing in United Kingdom, as the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, Groupama - FDJ, and Lidl-Trek Future Racing all make a debut in the British stage race.
Among the UCI ProTeams scheduled to ride are two former stage winners in the race, Norway’s Uno-X Mobility, who won in Gloucester in 2023 with Ramus Tiller, and the Israel - Premier Tech team, who last raced in Britain in 2022 when they won the opening stage of the race with Kiwi rider Corbin Strong. Last but not least to join the ProTeams party will be Q36.5 Pro Cycling with Damien Howson defending a third spot overall from last year.
Home fans will have the chance to cheer on a Great Britain national team or the two home Continental Teams. Next to the British teams (Trinity Racing and Saint Piran), five more teams from France (Van Rysel - Roubaix), Luxembourg (Global 6 United), Germany (REMBE Pro Cycling Team Sauerland), Portugal (Sabgal / Anicolor), United States (Project Echelon Racing) will make an appearance in UK at the beginning of September.
Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain race director Rod Ellingworth said in an official press release: "We are excited by the line-up of teams for this year’s Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain, and the combination of squads that will be lining up on 3 September. Many of the teams have enjoyed previous success with stage wins and overall victories in the race, while others making their debut will be keen to add their names to the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men roll of honour this year. We are sure that fans can look forward to six thrilling days of action, and we can’t wait to see all of the teams in action next month."

- Bingo...I was going to say a 12 year obsessed Pogi fan girlie ! Like she's chasing a teen boy band! All glossy eyed about tadej!frieders312-11-2026
- That stint in the Pink was so good. If memory serves he struggled with the champagne cuz he'd never been on the podium before. I feel like it gave him some self-belief, and yeah - then the move to Visma to be one of their lieutenants has really brought him to the best version of himself.wrsty12-11-2026
- So, you never really compared Paul Seixas with his main rival Isaac Del Toro why jump to Pogačar? They've (Paul & Isaac) raced together here and there, and they've both shared in wins and losses, I think they should be compared to each other, even with Vingegaard and Remco first before even touching Pogačar. From your writing it's like he's better than Vingegaard, Remco and Del Toro already that his main target is now Pogačar 🤔Sadick11-11-2026
- gee i hope its a minor injury. a great rider and ambassador for the sport. get well soon Lucinda.

- Yeah his ride at World's was unreal. Over 6 W/kg for over an hour and a half...he single handedly destroyed the break.DAS11-11-2026
- Exactly, you hit the nail on te head.... Ayuso sucks. 3 to 4 years ago some cycling experts were comparing Ayuso as the "new Pogi"... but he's not even close to him... either physically or mentally. Capish you naive schoolboy?PogiSloFans11-11-2026
- I think they expected more from riders like Carlos Rodriguez, Vauquelin and Magnus Sheffield. Imo they should have focused on signing Primoz Roglic, at least they´d probably have had a guaranteed podium GT finisher (he still might sign for them). Now they have 2nd or third tier riders in the classics (Ben Turner, Arensman, Beloki and hopefully Onley can step up again even more). Sheffield, August, Bernal, Tarling and Geoghan Hart did not live up to the star expectations eventually..Jonatan11-11-2026
- Fuuuuuuck, Ciccone and Pidcock on the same team, attacking like crazy and taking it to the other competitors? Yes, please.Occam11-11-2026
