After starting off his season at the Tour of Oman where he grabbed his first stage win of the season, Mark Cavendish will be leading the Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team at the UAE Tour where he will be eyeing the sprints.
“Mark proved he is in good shape in Oman and we have confidence in him going into the first World Tour event of the season. He will rely on a strong train, with Michael as the last man ready to launch him on the four flat stages," said Geert Van Bondt, team DS.
With four pan-flat stages on the menu, the opening World Tour race of the year provides plenty opportunities for the sprinters, which the Briton will be eyeing alongside a strong leadout. For the general classification, the team will be looking at Oman runner-up Fausto Masnada.
"For the overall standings, we’ll look to Fausto, of course; he will have two summit finishes to show again what he is capable of and go for a solid result in the GC. We are also happy to see Ethan in action with the Wolfpack for the first time, and can’t wait to get things started in this race where we always did good," Van Bondt completed.
