Team Bahrain McLaren is heading to Luxembourg with a strong six-man squad for the 80th Tour de Luxembourg, scheduled from today to Saturday.
“We have a competitive team here and will be looking for stage wins”, says sports director Tim Harris.
“The terrain here is very hilly so the race should be exciting. We are not starting with one leader as we want to see how the race develops after the first stage. So all of the riders will have a chance to show themselves at certain times during the race.”
