Pogacar is the main favourite, Visma will make his live hard with this team. The success of the team will also be influenced by van Aert’s shape.

Vingegaard is not a great stage hunter, “only” 4 stage wins so far. Van Aert in good shape however is always a contender on various terrain. Jorgenson could again try to support Jonas from the break to then try winning the stage, but it wont be the main goal.

Many experienced riders, no debutants. Visma wants to take no risk in this Tour. Contrarily to previous editions, van Aert is not as big of a green jersey contender to ask what the main goal of the team could be. The whole team stands behind one goal: Vingegaard in yellow

Benoot can do some work in the start of the mountains, Kuss is a top domestique; Jorgenson and Yates are one of the world’s best in mountainous terrain. And again, Van Aert can produce superhuman domestiaue work, even on the hardest climbs.

Campanaerts and Affini are both riders that have their main qualities in flat terrain and can support Vingegaard.

While Van Aert wont be the main favourite for the sprints, he can still compete and is never a rider to be ignored. He is an experienced rider so he can take the right wheel in sprints or get support from Campanaerts/ Affini.

Vingegaard vs Pogacar. Thats the battle again. Having one main Tour contender and the Giro winner is a luxury situation for Visma while still having Paris-Nice winner Jorgenson. It is not unlikely for Visma to have three riders in the Top 10

Stages are the goals, maybe KOM for Champoussin, similarly to Fortunato’s role at the Giro. If they go into the break, they probably do it agin with multiple riders to try and escape the push of UAE, pretty depending on breaks to go all the way.

Relegation battle. That is the motivation for the squad. 4th most UCI points this year so a good vibe around the team riding the wave of success after the Giro.

The climbing team is stacked with solid quality: Tejada, Higuita and Velasco basides Champoussin to aim for the best possible stage results in multiple stages. Also good in Pro level but not the world class level of other domestiques.

Ballerini could be supported by Teunissen and Bol in the lead-out ahead of the sprint. Fedorov is also a good rider to help the leader in the stage ahead of that.
Far of the best lead-out riders however

Sprint leader could be either Teunissen or Ballerini. Ballerini finished second behind Meeus at stage 5 of the Tour de Suisse. It probably wont be enough for a Top 5 but maybe for a Top 10 stage result

Similarly to the Giro, the squad will probably try to achieve great stage results and therefore not have a GC leader. If they did, Champoussin could be a great choice as he finished in the GC Top 10 of the three World Tour stage race he started

Groenwegen could win a stage again, while O’Connor only has a realistic chance if he drops out of GC and goes for stages over the breakaway. Plapp and Dunbar are also great breakaway riders.

The conflict of interest can happen in this team also by having a sprinter and a GC leader. The team contains many riders with some experience while still wanting to show themselves.

O`Connor has great riders around him for the mountains: Schmis; Plapp and Dunbar have all had their success themselves and can form a good climbing team around O’Connor who are not the world class domestiques like Almeida or Jorgenson but still solid.

With Reinders and main lead-out Mezgec, Groenwegen has good chances to sprint from a good position. Luke Durbridge is also strong on the flat. One of them should also take care of O’Connor on the flat.

After winning at four different editions of the Tour including last year, Groenwegen is always a contender for the sprints. Not the best results this year but some wins at smaller stage races in the last weeks.

O’Connor will be the leader for the team at this years edition. The destined goal is a Top 5 GC result, which considering O’Connor hasnt finished in the Top 5 of a stage race this year and seems out of shape.

A first stage win is the goal of the team and it seems like Uno X strong enough. Both Johannessens, Cort or maybe Leknessung could win a mountain stage if UAE decides to let the break go more regularly than last year. Cort also has a chance in the hills

The Johannessen brothers do have Leknessund and Cort to support them in the mountains and can also support each other, depending on how a break is build. Good support
