The Frenchman has three top-10 finishes at the race, two stage victories, as well as a white jersey on his palmares, but will be focused on Uran bettering his second-place finish from last year's race in 2018.
While EF Education First-Drapac switched from green argyle to bright pink jerseys for the 2018 season, the team have retained the classic green and black Cannondale design on their all-round race bikes, the Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod.
The simple, understated frameset is paired with all-carbon finishing kit from FSA, Vision and Prologo, while 40mm carbon wheels - also from Vision - are paired with Vittoria Corsa tubular tyres.
Shimano provides the team bikes with Dura-Ace R9100 series components for shifting and braking, while Cannondale's proprietary SISL crankset is paired with an SRM power meter.
