Team DS Geert van Bondt who will be guiding the team throughout the week has shared his thoughts regarding ambitions: “We have quite a strong team for the
Volta a Catalunya, featuring several riders who can go for a good result. As always, there will be a lot of climbing next week, especially on stages three and four – which will be the most important for the general classification – but there should be some opportunities also for breakaways and bunch sprints, and for the latter, we have Ethan, who can try to get involved. Concerning the overall standings, Fausto and Ilan will be our two guys, they come here with a lot of motivation and confidence”
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl for Volta a Catalunya: Fausto Masnada, Andrea Bagioli, Dries Devenyns, Pieter Serry, Ilan van Wilder,
Ethan Vernon and Louis Vervaeke.
