THE TEAMS TEAM INEOS GREAT BRITAIN MANAGER Dave Brailsford TEAM FOUNDED 2010 UNDER CURRENT NAME SINCE 2019 Chris Froome 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 In Sky’s wheeltracks Since Bradley Wiggins took the title in 2012, the British team that became Ineos in the spring has only missed out on the yellow jersey once. This year it will line up with the last two winners, Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome. Despite what many say, these two great champions are very capable of racing together. Their experience in 2018 will benefi t their approach to this year’s Tour. Last year, they didn’t make any mistakes. In the medium and high mountains, they know how to monitor who gets into the breaks and then manage the gap. While other teams go for stage wins, they control the race. They’re unstoppable!
