After two previous appearances, Tudor are heading to the Giro d'Italia for a third time — and this is their most complete squad yet. 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.

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.
