Peter Sagan and Wilco Kelderman will lead Bora-Hansgrohe at the Tour de France, while sprinter Pascal Ackermann has missed out on the final selection.

The German team announced their eight-man line-up on Tuesday morning, with Emanuel Buchmann, who finished fourth in 2019, to provide support and possible cover for Kelderman after his early exit from the Giro d'Italia.
