Romain Bardet and Jai Hindley will headline the Team DSM squad at the Vuelta a España, which gets underway in Burgos on August 14.

Hindley is set to return to competition at the Clásica San Sebastián this weekend, his first race since abandoning the Giro at the end of the second week. In a statement on Monday, DSM suggested that his place in the Vuelta team was provisional, with a final call on his participation to be taken “as the race draws closer.”
