CyclingWednesday, 05 October 2022 at 07:00
Quick-Step Alpha Viny has revealed its team for Gran Piemonte. Mark Cavendish will once again return to the peloton for the Italian one-day race.
The Former Tour de France champion will lead the team of seven riders, including Davide Ballerini, who recently scored the victory in the Coppa Bernocchi. The race features few hills, and the team has chosen James Knox and Pieter Serry to combat the climbs. Tim Declercq and Michael Morkov will be the lead out for the final sprint.
“We go to the start of this race with a strong and motivated team, featuring Mark but also Davide, who showed his fine form in Bernocchi. A bunch sprint is very likely, and if this happens, Michael is the man for the lead-out, with the rest of the team capable of controlling the race prior to the finale. It’s our last race week of the season, and we hope to get another good result”, said sports director Davide Bramati.
Quick-Step Alpha Viny for Gran Piemonte: Mark Cavendish, Andrea Bagioli, Davide Ballerini, Tim Declercq, James Knox, Michael Morkov and Pieter Serry.

- I would like to say one thing to Rúben Silva, the author of this article: "F*** you!!! Your f***** stupid and mean, and you know nothing about Tadej. Capish?" Pogi is one of the most humble guys, he takes care of his cyclists on his team, he jokes a lot, he buys his team presents, he has his own Pogi team to help young cyclists (they get everything, the complete cycling kit and bike) for free. So Rúben Silva, what else can I say... I won't, I already said it.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- Hey, find the logic and connection in these two things. First Yates says he is "grateful" to Visma and has been thinking about retirement for a long time??? ... and at the same time he left his team in the dark where they can't bring in a replacement now. Is that how he thanks his team? Don't insult my intelligence. My uncle once told me, "I don't know what's the true, but what the newspapers publish, I know that isn't true." ...That means one less option. Now apply that to the Yates case and you can put the Visma and Yates explanation in the trash and continue investigating the real reason.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.
Brucegel10-01-2026 - If there is something, knowing cycling it will only come out in a decade. Another oddity is the money angle. Had he wanted to, he could probably have arranged to earn more in the next 2 years than he did in the past.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- 🤣 I saw that too. Guess he buys in lower tax bracket so he can buy moremd197510-01-2026
