Adam and Simon Yates will race the Tour de France for the first time together starting this Saturday in the Netherlands. The British twins were named this morning as part of Orica-GreenEdge nine-rider roster.

Simon raced the first 15 days of the Tour in 2014, in his first year as a professional. Adam, instead, will have his first opportunity to race after competing in his first grand tour, the Vuelta a España, last year.
