After Richard Carapaz's second place in the Giro d’Italia and Geraint Thomas' third in the Tour de France, Ineos Grenadiers will be aiming for another Grand Tour podium at the Vuelta a España, and perhaps even the missing step, with Carapaz heading the team's line-up again.

But just as it was at the Tour, where Ineos Grenadiers pushed for stage wins as well as the overall, the Vuelta will see other riders in the British team lineup exploring their own goals as well as backing the team leader's GC bid.
