THE TEAMS EF EDUCATION FIRST UNITED STATES MANAGER Jonathan Vaughters TEAM FOUNDED 2005 (TIAA-CREF) UNDER CURRENT NAME SINCE 2018 Rigoberto Uran B E R N A R D T H É V E N E T G I V E S H I S A N A LY S I S A solid attack This is a compact team with strength in all areas. It will, of course, revolve around Rigoberto Uran, second at the 2017 Tour, who has good reason to aim for the same result this year. To help him, the Colombian will count on Tejay Van Garderen, who is a good lieutenant, as well as Daniel Martínez and Simon Clarke, who are very useful in the mountains. If you add Sep Vanmarcke, Sebastian Langeveld and Tanel Kangert, this team is much stronger than it seems. That will be very evident in the team time trial. The team will protect Uran very well and look to attack, especially in the medium mountains.
