Geraint Thomas will lead Team Sky at the Tour de Suisse, starting on June 11, and the Welshman will have plenty of talent around him to help him up the numerous mountains in the race.

Leopold König makes his return to racing after a lengthy absence with injury. The Czech rider's last appearance was at the Volta a la Communitat Valenciana in February, but his climbing prowess will surely be of help to Thomas in his quest for the general classification.
