Yes, we're talking about the Bretagne Classic, GP Québec, GP Montreal trident for puncheurs who excel in small group sprints, yet aren't afraid to attack when the situation calls for it.
Julian Alaphilippe headlines Soudal - Quick-Step's seven-man squad for the Bretagne Classic, the final French World Tour race of the season. The double World Champion will try to improve on his second place from 2021, looking to show the same strong form that recently brought him close to victory at the prestigious Clasica San Sebastian. He'll receive a full support from his teammates at the task.

"Sunday we are taking on a very long and hard race, almost 260 kilometers in length, held over an up-and-down parcours the entire day. We will be there with a strong squad capable of going deep into the race, but also controlling it and covering the important moves, so we are ready for all kinds of scenarios, from a small group going away to a reduced bunch sprint. We hope for a good outing and a nice result at the end of the day," said sports director Tom Steels
