The team, which was founded by Fabian Cancellara and will enter the second-highest category in 2023, will take part in the most important tour of the year for the first time from July 5 to 26.

On the one hand, Tudor will benefit from the fact that 23 teams will now be taking part in the "grands tours" and, on the other, from having two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe as its figurehead. "The fact that Tudor gets one of the three wildcards is of course due to Julian Alaphilippe, but not only," Tour director Christian Prudhomme explains to the sports website L'Equipe. "There's also Michael Storer, who won Paris-Nice, or Marc Hirschi, a top-class puncher and Matteo Trentin, a true captain of the road."

Hirschi, the 2020 World Championship bronze medallist and winner of a Tour de France stage and the Flèche Wallonne semi-classic in the same year, has switched from Team UAE Emirates to Tudor for this season.
