With only two weeks until the start of the Giro d'Italia, it's only customary that rumours emerge concerning the make-up of the squads set to support the contenders in the race for the maglia rosa.

Egan Bernal will be looking to add to his Tour de France yellow jersey with victory over three weeks in Italy, and Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport has the seven names it believes are heading to the first Grand Tour of the season for Ineos Grenadiers.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.

Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).

I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
