After the absence of Egan Bernal, Ineos reveals the leaders of the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia

In the absence of Egan Bernal, the best competitor in recent years, Tim Ineos Grenadier was able to get a glimpse of what his key card was in the face of the Tour de France, who would attend if Colombia had not crashed in Gachancipá.

Rod Ellingworth, the manager of the British team, reported that the rider who arrived in the squad as one of the famous signings in 2021 was not dismissed as expected, but would bet on Adam Yates as a boss in the gala round.For example, it was not when he took the top four in the overall ranking in the last edition of Vuelta a España.

Ellingworth didn't mention Geraint Thomas, but it's no secret that he would be the other leader of the Tour de France given his seniority, his skills in the time trial phase and his good physical condition in the mountain years. Of course, the most important thing is that he is already the winner of this competition in 2018, a year before Egan Bernal. The emphasis on him is that since then he has not been dazzled by accidents during matches from time to time, and others are probably suitable for his age (35 years old). His most recent title was the Tour de Romandi 2021.

Like Colombian climbers, against Yates, he plays a match that does not shine on the clock, but stands out for his explosive attacks in the mountains. Now, during the time trial, Team Ineos experienced a rider like the Italian Filippo Ganna. A double world champion in this category and a good friend of Egan.

Ellingworth said, “Ganna is aiming for her first time trial and her first yellow jersey in Copenhagen.” It is worth remembering that the first day of the Tour de France begins in Denmark in the 2022 edition.

Another great climber of the team, Daniel Felipe Martínez, is probably the best of this moment because he was in the top three in the two World Tour races he participated in this year (Vuelta al Algarve and Paris-Nice). He is presumed to be an advanced socialist for Yates and Thomas. However, since he tried to become a capo class, he will have the opportunity to arrive at Bora-Hansgrohe in 2023.

In the first big league of the year, Giro d'Italia, Ineos Grenadiers have chosen to win Magnolia Rosa will be Richard Karapaz, Ecuador's champion in 2019, and a gold medal for cycling routes at the Tokyo Olympics.In search of the feat, he was accompanied by Richie Forte of Australia, who won first place in 2020, and Tao Geoghegan Hart of England (Tao Geoghegan Hart).

“We will continue with Richard Carapaz for Giro d'Italia. We want to focus on Corsa Rosa because it is a race that suits Richard very well.” Rod Ellingworth concluded. If you win, you will be the fourth online title of the squad in this competition.
