Tour de France Roster Revealed
June 26, 2013 – Team Garmin-Sharp today
announced its much-anticipated 2013 Tour de France roster. The squad for the
centennial edition of the Tour de France features 2012 Giro d’Italia champion
and former top-ten finisher, Ryder Hesjedal, young American Andrew Talansky who is making his Tour de France debut, 2013 Liege-Baston-Liege winner Dan Martin,
two-time top-ten finisher Christian Vande Velde, top-ten finisher Tom
Danielson, stage winner David Millar, recent Giro d’Italia stage winner Ramunas
Navardausaks and rounded-out by Jack Bauer and Rohan Dennis, both making their
Tour de France debuts.
“We have a deep team with a lot of options as we head into the Centennial Tour
de France. Our goal is to animate the race and with an aggressive strategy, we
will aim to place high in the general classification,” said Jonathan Vaughters,
CEO, Team Garmin-Sharp.
“We have a few guys capable of achieving that – Ryder’s won a Grand Tour and
placed in the top 10 of the Tour de France; Andrew is young and while it's his
first Tour de France, he is coming off a great season and Dan Martin is having
a breakout year with his wins in Catalunya and Liege-Baston-Liege. We will
protect our best GC options and see how the race shakes out. Our approach is a
little unconventional, but we’ve managed to come up with surprises every year
at the Tour and we’re hoping for the same as we head into Corsica.”

have riders who are capable of stage wins, so we’ll be looking for those
opportunities as well. It’s going to be an exciting three weeks.”
