The Swiss team have options across the board, with weapons for the mountains, the sprint, and everything in between. Michael Storer leads the charge, but this time he is far from alone.

Storer was one of the standout performers of the 2025 spring — tipped at one point as a genuine podium contender at the Giro — and ultimately delivered with tenth place overall in Rome. After another strong build-up this year, finishing fourth at the Tour of the Alps in April, the Australian will be targeting something better. What constitutes better for Storer is well understood by anyone who has followed his remarkable journey at Tudor: he has the ability, and he knows it.
His teammate at the Tour of the Alps, Mathys Rondel, came home fifth there. The 22-year-old Frenchman has been turning heads since early in the season — twelfth at the UAE Tour, eighth at Paris-Nice, and second only to Remco Evenepoel in the Trofeo Andratx-Pollença. He steps up to his Grand Tour debut here not as a support rider, but as a shadow leader in his own right.

Mozzato as Tudor's sprint weapon
In the high mountains, the pair will be backed by Americans Will Barta and Larry Warbasse alongside German Florian Stork. The latter came close to a Giro stage win last year, finishing second, and will be given his own chances to hunt stages where the route suits him.
For the sprint stages, Tudor have Luca Mozzato. The 28-year-old Italian arrived from Arkéa-B&B Hotels this winter and made his presence felt in the spring — second in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, fifth in the Ronde van Brugge, and seventh at Gent-Wevelgem. He made his Giro debut last year, with eighth place as his best finish. He arrives at this race knowing the demands, and with a stronger team around him.
Guiding Mozzato to the line, Tudor are counting on two Swiss riders: Fabian Lienhard and Robin Froidevaux will serve as his dedicated lead-out in the sprint finales.

- I don’t understand how you can break vertebrae and not feel much pain there. Does that mean the collarbone injury was just more noticeable, or can spinal fractures sometimes cause very little pain? Hope he’s fully healed soon.sprocketspiny01-11-2026
- The recovery-score details are interesting, but they’re not a substitute for proper medical advice. Hopefully the team are keeping a close eye on him and letting the scans—not the urge to train—set the timetable.jennifer1901-11-2026
- Pogacar’s point about the safety gap between the Tour and smaller races is spot on. Riders are going faster than ever, yet some finishes still have awkward turns and road furniture right in the finale. Organisers need to take this seriously.gearguru3301-11-2026
