EF Education-EasyPost prepares for the Tour de France with a strong team focused on winning stages, led by Neilson Powless. Carapaz's absence due to a gastrointestinal infection shifts the squad's focus to aggressive racing tactics. Key riders include Ben Healy, known for long-distance breakaways, and Kasper Asgreen, a former Tour of Flanders champion. Michael Valgren and Vincenzo Albanese offer additional experience, while Powless is determined to secure a stage win, reflecting on his previous pursuit of the yellow jersey.
Neilson Powless stated, "My best memory from the Tour de France so far was probably the cobblestone stage in 2022 when I realised I was fighting for the yellow jersey. I've been chasing that feeling ever since. It is so hard to get into that position."
The squad's eight-man line-up will be focussed purely on stage wins, with the plan being to "go on the attack as soon as the time is right. They will make the most of every opportunity."
