It is certainly no exaggeration to suggest that one of the reasons this Spanish-based professional team has been invited to the Tour de France is that the Grand Départ takes place in Barcelona. This means that, alongside Team Movistar, the Spanish colours will be represented for a second time. For such a young and inexperienced team, it will be hard enough to survive the extremely gruelling and fiercely contested Tour. To make any impression at all, their only option is to send riders into breakaway groups as often and as early as possible, or to get involved in the sprint finishes. The team has signed a trump card for this in the form of Fernando Gaviria – the 32-year-old is the only rider in the squad who has ever taken part in the Tour before. However, his heyday, with two stage wins in 2018, was a few years ago now.
