Soudal - Quick-Step are the final team to announce their lineup for the Tour de France and without surprises the team is fully dedicated to stage wins, backing up Fabio Jakobsen and Julian Alaphilippe into success.
The Frenchman leads one part of the team, hoping for the yellow jersey on the opening day in Bilbao, but having a few hilly stages throughout the race where he can leave his mark on the race. He will have his right-hand man Dries Devenyns behind him, whilst the team also has French rouleur Rémi Cavagna hopeful of chasing stage wins in some breakaways.
“Julian and Fabio are our two leaders," team DS Tom Steels said in a press release. "Julian will try to go for a stage win, as he has some nice opportunities over the three weeks of the race, while Fabio will rely on Michael to guide him in the sprints, but also on the likes of Kasper and Yves, who can keep the speed high in the bunch finishes.”
Fabio Jakobsen has put in a convincing performance at the Baloise Belgium Tour and comes in as the sprinter of the team, the European champion will have the pleasure of having his full leadout present as Michael Morkov, Florian Sénéchal and Yves Lampaert will be present. Besides the support of Rémi Cavagna too, the lineup is complete by Kasper Asgreen who can also both help with the sprint preparations and stage hunting on his own.
Soudal - Quick-Step for Tour de France:
Julian Alaphilippe, Fabio Jakobsen, Kasper Asgreen, Rémi Cavagna, Tim Declercq, Dries Devenyns, Yves Lampaert and Michael Morkov.
