“Alberto Petitol is one step ahead of the rest,” says Benati, who has to disappoint the other two riders. “After him will follow David Ballerini and Mathieu Trentin, who will test at the Tour de Luxembourg.”
“We’re aiming for a good result, but we have to be realistic: Foat van Aert, Remko Evenpoel, Tadej Pojákár, Matthew van der Poel and Michael Matthews stand out.”

The Spanish national coach had to catch a minimum of 5 riders in ProTeams. Movistar and Cofidis will not abandon riders like Alejandro Valverde, Alex Aranburu, Carlos Verona, Ivan Garcia Cortina, the Izagirre brothers and the Herrada brothers. They want to use these riders for the downhill battle at the WorldTour.
Julian Alaphilippe was a question mark, as the double world champion dislocated his shoulder in a fall at the Vuelta ale. Soon after his retirement, he was able to resume training. The course in Australia also seemed like a thing for him. As the world champion, he can always participate, he is an additional rider for France. Striking: David Godot, fourth of the Tour, and Benoit Cosnefroy, winner of the Quebec GP, did not want to join.
