Julian Alaphilippe and Tim Merlier headline Soudal - Quick-Step's stage-hunting team at Giro d'Italia
CyclingTuesday, 30 April 2024 at 12:48
Soudal - Quick-Step want to perform in the overall classification of the Tour de France, and will take a GC block to help Remco Evenepoel. For the Giro d'Italia, the team gives freedom to some of it's other leaders such as Tim Merlier and Julian Alaphilippe to seek their own victories.
The Belgian team has confirmed it's lineup, fully focused in the success over the sprints and hilly stages. Although Jan Hirt will most likely eye the mountain stages, and possibly aim for the GC if he finds his best legs. Nevertheless, Julian Alaphilippe and Mauri Vansevenant who showed great form over the Ardennes classics will chase stage wins in the hilly days of the race.
The team's main focus is on Tim Merlier who will be a big candidate to succeed in the sprints and possibly the points classification. The Belgian is supported by Luke Lamperti who will make his Grand Tour debut, right-hand man Bert van Lerberghe and reliable domestique Josef Cerny who is expected to spend large kilometers in the head of the peloton. If not, then that task should be in the shoulders of Pieter Serry who will play a supporting role for his leaders.

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.
James2631826-12-2024 - Not sure that can be true, in that USA Cycling is part of the UCI.acem8226-12-2024
- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- A sociopath is an informal term used to describe someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition characterized by a chronic pattern of disregard for social norms, laws, and the rights and feelings of others.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
