Richie Porte described the Jumbo-Visma team as the 'killer wasps' of the peloton during the recent Critérium du Dauphiné for the way they chased down attacks and dominated the racing, and they are expected to attack this year's race and try to challenge Team Ineos' dominance at the Tour de France.   

The Dutch WorldTour team have lost Steven Kruijswijk after he crashed and fractured his shoulder at the Dauphiné, but Primož Roglič is expected to recover from his injuries sustained in a crash there, too, and so join forces with Tom Dumoulin to lead the team in yellow and black.
