Olympic mountain bike gold medallist Tom Pidcock will race within the Vuelta a Espana for Ineos Grenadiers alongside fellow Briton Adam Yates.
Yates, 29, will likely be racing the tenth Grand Tour of his profession.
The race begins in Burgos and covers 21 levels earlier than ending on 5 September.
Pidcock’s long-term coach at Ineos, Kurt Bogaerts, referred to as his mountain bike cross-country gold “mission unimaginable” as a result of it got here lower than two months after the bicycle owner broke his collarbone in coaching.
The Leeds-born athlete has gained world titles in cyclo-cross, street and mountain bike occasions at under-23 and under-18 stage.
He and Yates will likely be racing alongside Ineos’ former Tour de France winner and present Giro d’Italia champion Egan Bernal, Olympic street race champion Richard Carapaz, Jhonatan Narvaez, Salvatore Puccio, Pavel Sivakov and Dylan van Baarle.
