ASTANA PRO TEAM

Astana is one of the best teams to fight for the final win. The leader is Jakob Fuglsang, who is going through his best season ever. The 34-year-old dane rider won the Dauphiné, which is the most important pre-Tour waymark. Out of the seven editions from 2012 until 2018, the Dauphiné winner won La Grande Boucle of that year on five occasions. He also won Liege-Bastogne-Liege and the Ruta del Sol, while securing podium spots at Tirreno-Adriatico, Strade Bianche, La Fléche Wallonne, and the Amstel Gold Race.
