With just under a month until the Tour de France, Jumbo-Visma have unveiled their line-up. Wout van Aert is set to make his Grand Tour debut, alongside the team´s experienced leaders Dylan Groenewegen and Steven Kruijswijk.

It´s a super nice thing for me. I want to thank the team for this opportunity and the team for their support. I really look forward to lining up with a strong team. They get my full support. It will be a very hard experience. See you soon in Brussels.` Riding a full cyclo-cross programme means t ...
