The first monument of the year is almost here and for
Soudal - Quick-Step, hopes will be placed firmly on the shoulders of former two-time world champion,
Julian Alaphilippe.
“We will start
Milano-Sanremo with a lot of motivation. We know we aren’t the main favourites, but this doesn’t mean we won’t try to do our best to get a good result," previews Soudal - Quick-Step's sports director Davide Bramati. "The race is six kilometers shorter than last year, but that doesn’t change anything and the action should once again kick off in the final hour of the race. The riders we have at the start are determined to give their all out there and we’ll just have to be confident and wait to see how things will pan out after seven hours.”
