Those responsible at UAE did not deviate from the pre-selection made in December when selecting the eight riders. In addition to Britain's Adam Yates and Portugal's Joao Almeida, the winner and overall runner-up of the Tour de Suisse, Spaniards Juan Ayuso and Marc Soler, Frenchman Pavel Sivakov, Belgian Tim Wellens and German Nils Politt will also support Pogacar in the fight for overall victory.
Pogacar ended his altitude training camp in the French Alps three days earlier than planned last week due to the death of his grandfather. After his triumph at the Giro d'Italia, the Slovenian is aiming for his third overall victory after 2020 and 2021 in the 111th Tour of France starting on June 29 in Florence. The last time the Italian Marco Pantani achieved the double of Giro and Tour was in 1998.
