Kasper Asgreen and Tim Merlier set to lead Soudal Quick-Step at Renewi Tour
CyclingMonday, 21 August 2023 at 02:30
Two days for the sprinters, two hilly stages – one of which will once again feature the iconic Muur-Kapelmuur – and a flat 13.6km individual time trial around Sluis will make up the route of the 19th Renewi Tour, which returns this summer after a one-year hiatus.
The Belgian team will once again eye a stage success with their sprinter Tim Merlier while Kasper Asgreen and Yves Lampaert will be their cards for final GC where the ITT will play a big role.
"This year, the parcours is a bit different than what we had in the past. Just five stages now, but without a really hard day in the Ardennes, which changes the complexity of the race. With the stage to Geraardsbergen and the short time trial, we can say that the route suits many of our riders, not just Kasper, who will be our main card for the general classification. In the sprints, we’ll once again look to Tim Merlier, who’s had a very impressive year so far, and with the help of Bert and Florian, will try to fight for victory here," explained sports director Tom Steels.
Soudal Quick-Step lineup for Renewi Tour:
Kasper Asgreen, Tim Declercq, Yves Lampaert, Tim Merlier, Florian Sénéchal, Bert Van Lerberghe and Stan Van Tricht

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
