Magnus Cort Nielsen and
Andreas Leknessund over the transfer window, Uno-X Mobility are arguably better placed to take a Tour de France stage win this year.

"We believe we deserve an invitation based on the performance and results from last year, as well as the development we have shown over a long period of time," he concludes.
