Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team have revealed their team for the upcoming
Tour of Denmark, and unlike the expected,
Mark Cavendish will not be at the start, with the team putting their chips on
Mauro Schmid and
Zdenek Stybar's GC chances.
The decision comes as a surprise as Cavendish was in the preliminary startlist for the race, set to be the team's option for the sprints. With his absence, aswell as Great Britain's absence from the European championships, the veteran sees himself out of competition whilst his fellow sprinters are headlining several races. He experienced a disappointing Tour de Pologne, but will still likely ambition other events in the coming weeks.
Ethan Vernon will instead lead the team's sprint ambitions, with the support of
Michael Morkov.
