Australian team will target stages in France, reports Alex Ballinger
Mitchelton-Scott have announced they will not be targeting the yellow jersey at this year’s Tour de France, as they go all-in for the Giro d’Italia with Simon Yates.
The Brit wore the pink jersey for 13 days in 2018 and came within two stages of the win before his dramatic collapse. But the 27-year-old proved himself a Grand Tour star by dominating the Vuelta a España that year to win his first three-week race.
Mitchelton-Scott sports director Matt White said: “The focus for us at the Giro d’Italia will be to support Simon Yates as best as possible, to help him achieve the optimal result we can as a team and ultimately try to win the race.
