Giro d'Italia | Mark Cavendish leads Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team in seek of sprint stages
CyclingMonday, 02 May 2022 at 13:00
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team have confirmed their lineup for the upcoming Giro d'Italia, in which Mark Cavendish has been confirmed as team leader, as he returns to the Italia Grand Tour for the first time since 2013.
The sprinting legend has taken wins at the Tour of Oman, UAE Tour and Milano-Torino this season, and will be looking to increase the tally at the Giro. With illnesses and injuries affecting the team's selection, it favoured Cavendish as Michael Morkov has been brought as a late-minute addition to the team which will be of great help to the leadout. Davide Ballerini and Bert van Lerberghe will also play a crucial role.
The team's focus will be stage wins, as they come in with Mauri Vansevenant and Mauro Schmid who should be able to contest a wide variety of stages, with the hilly days as the main focus. Pieter Serry and James Knox complete the lineup, adding some more climbing firepower into the mix.
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team for Giro d'Italia: Mark Cavendish, Davide Ballerini, James Knox, Michael Morkov, Mauro Schmid, Pieter Serry, Bert van Lerberghe and Mauri Vansevenant.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
