Two-time former winner Jonas Vingegaard will lead Visma-Lease a Bike at this year's Tour de France, the Dutch team announced on Tuesday.
Dane Vingegaard, 28, won the Tour in 2022 and 2023, and will be joined in the set-up by allrounder Wout van Aert as they attempt to de-throne Tadej Pogacar.
Matteo Jorgenson, Simon Yates, Sepp Kuss, Tiesj Benoot, Victor Campenaerts and Edoardo Affini make up the rest of their team.

This year's Tour de France starts on 5 July in Lille and ends on 27 July in Paris.
"With these eight very strong riders, we believe in the plan we made for the Tour de France," Visma's head of racing Grischa Niermann said.
"From day one we will have to be there as a team to optimally assist Jonas in the GC (General classification).
"We have an optimal preparation behind us and with that, we think we can get the best possible result," he added.
