After the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France, Domenico Pozzovivo will continue his busy 2016 season at the Vuelta a Burgos.

The Italian will be supported by youngster Francois Bidard.

"I'm pretty satisfied with my state of form in recent weeks," Bidard said. "I feel better when I do more efforts and I feel good. On Sunday I did the work in the Polynormande but I paid a little late in the race.

"I'll be at the Vuelta a Burgos with a big motivation. We have a great team and I'll be riding in service of the team. On a personal note, for my first professional season, I want to take the start of a grand tour. The Vuelta a Burgos could be the last big test for me to get the chance to participate in the Vuelta a Espana."

Pozzovivo will have Christophe Riblon for support in the mountains while Patrick Gretsch, Sebastien Minard, Quentin Jauregui, Gediminas Bagdonas and Blel Kadri will be on hand in the flat stages and the team time trial. Bagdonas may try his hand in some of the sprints.
