The 20-year-old was supposed to target the Vuelta a España at the end of August, but instead will ride alongside David Gaudu, Romain Gregoire and Valentin Madouas at the Tour de France.

"Lenny Martinez will be a real support for David in the mountains, we are always stronger together than alone on a route designed for climbers," said team sporting director Benoît Vaugrenard on Monday.

Quentin Pacher, Clement Russo, Kevin Geniets and Stefan Kung complete a lineup otherwise without surprise.

Martinez, son of Miguel, Olympic mountain bike champion in 2000, shone in his first professional season last year, notably wearing the leader's jersey for two days in the Vuelta.
