With
Soudal - Quick-Step having both
Tim Merlier and
Fabio Jakobsen in their ranks, team boss
Patrick Lefevere is always going to have a big decision to make when it comes to Grand Tour lineups, a topic he does not wish to publicly discuss.
When questioned which of the pair would make the
Tour de France of if both could work together, Lefevere refused to be drawn into a debate. “Whether I have the fastest sprinters in the world? Well, hopefully, but we're still early in the year," he tells Belga. “I don't want to participate in those games of the press that you read here and there."
