Team Sky have announced their squad for the Tour de France, with Chris Froome supported by a strong team including Geraint Thomas, but with no place for Ian Stannard or Wout Poels.

The team will be hoping to pick up their fifth Tour de France title in six years after Bradley Wiggins took Britain's first Tour win in 2012, followed by Chris Froome's victories in 2013, 2015, and 2016.
