RIDERS TO WATCH

Jack Haig

Once touted as a future Australian grand tour contender, Haig will be a valuable domestique but is also a promising week-long stage racer in his own right, which he’ll want to build on with more freedom.

Pello Bilbao

The Spaniard finished fifth at the Giro, his highest GC result in grand tours, as well as 16th at the Tour just a few weeks earlier. Flies under the radar but is a consistent stage racer who can be relied on.
