Alaphilippe and Evenepoel headline Quick-Step in a bid to finish the spring on a high
CyclingFriday, 22 April 2022 at 21:00
Julian Alaphilippe has finished second on his debut at Liège-Bastogne-Liège back in 2015, but he has not however managed to improve on that result in the meantime. This Sunday he will return to the fourth monument of the season, after two years where he's contested the final sprint but couldn't manage to take the win he's ambitioning.
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team has had a bad spring results wise, with the cobbled classics block being hampered by ilnesses. At the recent Paris-Roubaix, the team heavily suffered from crashes who took several of their leaders out of contention in crucial moments of the race. Julian Alaphilippe and Remco Evenepoel haven't been able to strike in the Ardennes classics, but the World champion's fourth place at Flèche Wallone points towards good form, which he will use towards another stint at La Doyenne.
Team DS Klaas Lodewyck has said: “We have a squad more or less similar to the one that was in action on Wednesday, riders who know the parcours and have a lot of motivation coming into the race. We can count on the World Champion, we have several other guys who can go on the offensive, so the feeling is good and hopefully we will get a nice result on Sunday as we bring down the curtain over the Spring Classics."
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team for Liège-Bastogne-Liège: Julian Alaphilippe, Remco Evenepoel, Tim Declercq, Pieter Serry, Ilan van Wilder, Mauri Vansevenant and Louis Vervaeke.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
