The Trek has a group of 9 runners for the Tour a two months from its beginning, with the idea of forming a strong team for the mountain. Joining Porte and Mollema will be Danish world champion Mads Pedersen. Climbers Niklas Eg or Kenny Elissonde, and fast runners like Jasper Stuyven and Edward Theuns, will also perform at the Nice start on August 29 with options to win stages while helping their leaders.

He will surround himself with good climbers, including Giulio Ciccone, the best climber of the 2019 edition, Gianluca Brambilla, winner of a stage in 2016, Pieter Weening or even the French Julien Bernard.
