Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team will be taking to the start of Dwars door Vlaanderen with the ambition of taking a strong result that will overcome the so far below par spring the team has had. With several cards to play, they will come in as one of the main teams into the Belgian race.
“The course has completely changed, and it will be a hectic one, with a lot of climbing and narrow roads. We could still have a big group going to the finish line, but we are also sure that attacks will happen," Team DS Tom Steels said. Despite some rough bergs, the race has relatively flat final 40 kilometers and doesn't feature significant climbs where differences can be made. Fabio Jakobsen is setting off as team leader, with Zdenek Stybar and Yves Lampaert as possible cards to play aswell.
In the lineup, Tim Declercq is making his return earlier than expected as he has recovered after a Pericarditis: "We are happy to have Tim back after his illness, he trained hard and we can’t wait to see him in the race again. Also Yves is on an upward trajectory, he showed that last Sunday, so overall we are confident we can do a good race”,
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team for Dwars door Vlaanderen: Fabio Jakobsen, Tim Declercq, Stijn Steels, Jannik Steimle, Zdenek Stybar, Yves Lampaert and Bert van Lerberghe.

- Why make a comment to state the obvious? Of course MvdP is much better at CX than Pogacar, does anyone doubt that But that wasn't his pointvappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024
- Correction on 2021 Olympics. It was mainly the Dutch ladies who didn’t know who was leading the race. Other teams like the Germans and Italians knew that Kiesenhofer was out front.mobk23-12-2024
- A champion turning into a sore loser. Or is he on coke again?
UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024
- Debatable?Ride197423-12-2024
- The point is obvious: MVDP can beat Tadej on CX/Road and Tadej cannot. What is so hard to understand???averagecyclist22-12-2024
