Tour de France 2024 start list: Ineos Grenadiers, Astana Qazaqstan and Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale release teams

With just ten days until the 2024 Tour de France , the squad announcements are gradually beginning to come in.

Ineos Grenadiers' general classification bid will be led by Carlos Rodríguez, stage winner and fifth overall last year, but the British team also has star power and experience through Tom Pidcock and Geraint Thomas.

The trio will be helped by Egan Bernal, Jonathan Castroviejo, Laurens De Plus, Michał Kwiatkowski, and Ben Turner.

Also announced on Monday were the lineups for Movistar, Astana Qazaqstan and Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale.

For Astana Qazaqstan, it is all about Mark Cavendish , who is targeting one more stage win to make history. He will be assisted by Michael Mørkøv, Alexey Lutsenko, Yevgeniy Federov, Cees Bol, Harold Tejada, Davide Ballerini, and Michele Gazzoli.

Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, meanwhile, go with a split strategy between GC and stage wins. Felix Gall is their man for the mountains, after his stage win last year, and Sam Bennett will be there for the sprints.

It is a multi-layered team, though, with Bruno Armirail, Paul Lapeira, Dorian Godon, Nans Peters, Oliver Naesen, and Nicolas Prodhomme all presenting different options.

Lidl-Trek, without Tao Geoghegan Hart , will aim for stage win glory through Mads Pedersen, a winner at the two previous editions, and Giulio Ciccone, the King of the Mountains at last year's race.

The pair will be joined by Julien Bernard, Tim Declercq, Ryan Gibbons, Toms Skujiņš, Jasper Stuyven, and Carlos Verona.

Lotto Dstny will be led by newly-crowned Belgian champion Arnaud De Lie at the Tour, which will not only be his first time at the race, but any Grand Tour. Having beaten last year's green jersey winner, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) at the nationals, he will hope he can do it again.

Together with Maxim Van Gils, Victor Campenaerts, Brent Van Moer, Jarrad Drizners, Harm Vanhoucke, Sébastien Grignard and Cedric Beullens, the goal is stage wins.

Meanwhile, Movistar will be led by Enric Mas, as the Spaniard mounts another GC challenge; his highest finish was fourth overall in 2021.

He will be joined by Oier Lazkano, Davide Formolo, Nelson Oliveira, Alex Aranburu, Fernando Gaviria, Gregor Mühlberger and Javier Romo.

Bahrain-Victorious will take 2023 stage winners Pello Bilbao and Matej Mohorič , along with the former British champion Fred Wright . The latter will be hoping his luck finally holds if he makes it into a breakaway.

The trio will be joined by Wout Poels, Phil Bauhaus, Santiago Buitrago, Jack Haig and Nikias Arndt, in a team strong in stage-winning potential, with a GC bid also a possibility.

UAE Team Emirates' lineup was all but confirmed already , but it was published last week.

Assisting Tadej Pogačar in his bid for history - a Giro d'Italia and Tour double - will be Juan Ayuso, Pavel Sivakov, Marc Soler, Nils Politt, Adam Yates, João Almeida and Tim Wellens.

In Ayuso, Yates and Almeida, UAE have three hyper-domestiques who could be team leaders at a Grand Tour themselves. Yates, in particular, will be key, with the Briton winning the recent Tour de Suisse, and also finishing third at the Tour de France last year.

Israel-Premier Tech also released their eight-man team sheet, which includes four debutants, two of whom are Brits: Jake Stewart, Stevie Williams, Pascal Ackermann and Derek Gee. Williams and Gee, in particular, have shown their top form at times this year.

The team has experience, in Guillaume Boivin, Jakob Fuglsang, Hugo Houle and Krists Neilands. Notably, there is no Chris Froome .

Visma-Lease a Bike will be led by Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert . The pair were judged to have sufficiently recovered to be there at the French Grand Tour when it gets underway.

The pair will be joined by Matteo Jorgenson, Sepp Kuss , Christophe Laporte, Tiesj Benoot, Wilco Kelderman, and Jan Tratnik.

Both Vingegaard and Van Aert have had injury-interrupted seasons, with the former in serious doubt for the Tour, with the defending champion rushing to recover from injuries sustained in the horror crash at Itzulia Basque Country in April. The Dane suffered multiple broken ribs , a collapsed lung, and a broken collarbone in the incident.

However, his team confirmed that he has recovered enough to "fight for a good result" in the Tour.

Jayco AIUIa confirmed that Simon Yates, Michael Matthews and Dylan Groenewegen would lead the charge for the team as they hunt for stage wins and a high general classification finish for Yates.

Luke Durbridge, Chris Harper, Chris Juul-Jensen, Luka Mezgec and Elmar Reinders complete the Jayco lineup.

Uno-X Mobility were the first team to release their lineup.

The Norwegian team will be led by Magnus Cort and Alexander Kristoff, two riders who have tasted success at the French Grand Tour in the past.

The pair will be joined by six more Scandinavians - all Norwegians, incidentally - Jonas Abrahamsen, Tobias Halland Johannessen, Rasmus Fossum Tiller, Søren Wærenskjold, Johannes Kulset and Odd Christian Eiking.

The 2024 race begins on Saturday 29 June in Florence, Italy, and finishes in Nice, France, just over three weeks later on 20 July. Read our guide to the Tour's route here .

Eight men are allowed in each squad, with a mix of climbers, sprinters, general classification hopefuls and domestiques. All 18 WorldTour teams will be present, alongside ProTeams Israel-Premier Tech, Lotto Dstny, Uno-X, and TotalEnergies.
