Mick van Dijke has ridden himself into the Tour de France selection of Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe. The Dutchman will make his debut in the Tour de France on July 5.
The 25-year-old Van Dijke will participate in a major tour for the first time in France. His twin brother Tim van Dijke already did that a year ago in the Giro d’Italia.
In addition to Van Dijke, Danny van Poppel is also part of the Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe selection. The sprinter is already an established name in the team and is facing his seventh participation in the Tour de France.
At Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, it is mainly about Primoz Roglic, who aims for his ninth podium finish in a major tour. Florian Lipowitz, Jordi Meeus, Gianni Moscon, Laurence Pithie and Aleksandr Vlasov are the other names in the team.
Intermarché-Wanty already announced the team on Thursday and is also taking a Dutch debutant to France. The 24-year-old Roel van Sintmaartensdijk is facing his first participation in the Tour.
With Sintmaartensdijk’s Belgian team, Biniam Girmay is the leader. Girmay won the green jersey last year as the winner of the points classification.
