Australian team Jayco-AlUla said on Monday it would be launching into the Tour de France this year with its home-grown leader, Ben O'Connor, chasing a top five spot on the overall while it also once again pursued sprint victories – and the first yellow jersey of the race in Lille – with Dylan Groenewegen.
Alongside the experienced sprinter, who has won six Tour de France stages to date, the squad will include Luke Plapp, making his debut at the event after claiming his first Grand Tour stage win at the Giro d'Italia in May. Eddie Dunbar is another first timer who will also be on hand to support O'Connor in the mountains.
