The cycling team Tietema, founded by former cyclist and YouTuber Tietema, will make its debut in a Grand Tour at the Giro d'Italia. The team's owner expressed gratitude for the invitation, calling it a milestone for their project. Their ambition extends beyond mere participation, with a stated goal of winning a stage, and they see the first stage as an opportunity for the pink jersey. The squad features Dutch sprinter Dylan Groenewegen and veteran Wout Poels. Despite racing under a French license and aiming for the Tour de France, they did not receive an invitation to that race this year.
