Grand Tour Leaders

Our three GC riders, Bauke Mollema, Vincenzo Nibali, and Richie Porte will share leadership across the three Grand Tours.

Multiple Grand Tour winner Vincenzo Nibali has his sights set on the Giro d’Italia, a race that he has won twice before. Supporting him will be two-time Giro stage winner and 2019 King of the Mountains Giulio Ciccone.

Bauke Mollema will race with Richie Porte, and together they will lead the Trek-Segafredo team at the Tour de France.

In the Vuelta a España, Mollema, Nibali, and Ciccone are expected to race together.

World Champion Mads Pedersen

World Champion Mads Pedersen will start his 2020 season at the first WorldTour race of the year, the Tour Down Under, which will be his third appearance at the Australian race. Pedersen will use the early season racing as preparation for the cobbled classics in the rainbow jersey. Pedersen, who will celebrate his 24th birthday next week, is due to make his Tour de France debut next June.
