Tour de France stage wins the goal, but green jersey ‘a good option’ for lighter Mads Pedersen

With Lidl-Trek missing their Tour de France GC leader after Tao Geoghegan-Hart after the British rider was hit by COVID-19 and a fractured rib, the team has recalibrated their goals for the race.

Stage hunting will be the aim, with the likes of Toms Skujins, 2023 king of the mountains Giulio Ciccone, and two-time stage winner Mads Pedersen leading the US team’s charge.
