Australian team Liv AlUla Jayco is fielding a stage-hunting squad for the upcoming Tour de France Femmes (August 1-9), with national champion Mackenzie Coupland earning a Tour debut in what has been a whirlwind season.
Coupland will join a varied group of breakaway specialists and sprinters that includes compatriot Ruby Roseman-Gannon, Canada's Nadia Gontova, plus the Dutch duo of Jeanne Korevaar and Silke Smulders, who have both ridden every edition of the Tour so far.
