Julian Alaphilippe headlines Soudal - Quick-Step lineup for classics in Canada
CyclingWednesday, 11 September 2024 at 01:00
With Tour of Britain as a quick warm-up in the legs, Julian Alaphilippe heads overseas for his next adventure. In Canada, he'll take on the two WorldTour classics which he's not completely unfamiliar with, having finished in the top-10 of both races in the past.
It's always complicated to try to predict the outcomes of the two races as multiple scenarios from a long attack to a sprint could be on the menu. Starting with the GP Quebec on Friday, riders are likely to head into an uphill sprint on the coast of the main Francophone city in the region. On the other hand Sunday's GP Montreal will challenge riders with a circuit featuring the challenging Côte Camillien Houde (2.3 km 6.2%) where gaps are to be created.
"Quebec and Montreal are two of the most beautiful one-day races in this second part of the season, and the parcours there can make for some spectacular racing. The riders are motivated for these next World Tour appointments, and knowing we can play several cards in the weekend makes us confident in our chances of scoring some good results before returning to Europe," explained sports director Davide Bramati.
