Winner of the Baby Giro Leo Hayter will form a two-pronged attack on the GC at the prestigious Tour de l’Avenir alongside new Jumbo-Visma signing Tom Gloag.

The pair will spearhead one of the strongest British teams at the U23 race in years. Earlier this year, Hayter won the U23 Giro d’Italia convincingly, winning two stages in the mountains on the way to overall victory.

When asked about Hayter’s chances Great Britain coach, Matt Brammeier, told Cycling Weekly: “Once you get into those high mountains you need the legs to win and it’s going to be who’s got it and who hasn’t. We’ve got the added advantage of Tom Gloag being in the squad who’s a favourite himself.

“We’ve got a two-pronged attack for the GC, then we’ve got the option of Sam [Watson] for stages. It’s a very competitive team all around.”
