Whilst last year's third placed Kasper Asgreen is not present, Alaphilippe will be able to count on the support of loyal domestique
Dries Devenyns.
Andrea Bagioli who's finished second at the Drome Classic and
Mauri Vansevenant who's recently won the queen stage and finished second at the Tour of Oman will also be key riders for the team.
Nevertheless the talent does not end there. The Frenchman will still have the support of Figueira Champions Classic winner
Casper Pedersen who's found his best form now with Quick-Step,
Davide Ballerini and
Pieter Serry.
Soudal - Quick-Step for Strade Bianche: Julian Alaphilippe, Andrea Bagioli, Davide Ballerini, Dries Devenyns, Casper Pedersen, Pieter Serry and Mauri Vansevenant.
