Trek-Segafredo is pleased to announce its lineup for the 106th Tour de France that starts on Saturday, July 6 in Brussels and finishes on Sunday, July 28 in Paris.
Australian climber Richie Porte will lead the team and is really looking forward to racing la Grande Boucle with Trek-Segafredo: "I think we have a well rounded team. Obviously I’d love to be on the podium in Paris but I know it’s going to be a hell of a fight. I think what we have done well going into this race is controlling the things we can control and not getting distracted by how things have gone so far this season. In a lot of ways I feel a lot less pressure than in past years and am very motivated to fight hard over the three weeks."
Porte will be seconded by Julien Bernard (FRA), Giulio Ciccone (ITA), Koen de Kort (NED), Fabio Felline (ITA), Bauke Mollema (NED), Toms Skujins (LAT) and Jasper Stuyven (BEL).
Richie Porte, Bauke Mollema and Jasper Stuyven, along with the rest of the team will be available for questions at the pre-race press conference at the following time and venue.
