Thomas is coming off a third-place finish in last year's Tour de France and also won the Tour de Suisse."The INEOS Grenadiers have got a strong line-up. A lot of good young guys, so we'll look to race aggressively and try get as much as we can out of it."
"I saw that this year's route features the Mount Lofty climb for the first time, which looks really challenging."
