“We bring a strong team, ready to race aggressively, with the main goal of going for stage wins”, Rik Verbrugghe explained in a press release. “We all know that it’s hard to win a stage in the Tour, but I believe that each of our eight selected riders has what it takes to be victorious in this race. I would like to see the team race with the same attitude and eagerness as we did in the Giro d’Italia this year. If we can continue like this, racing opportunistically, I believe we will have a great race.”

Hugo Houle who has won a stage last year, Corbin Strong who will enjoy his chances in the hilly sprint days mostly and plenty puncheurs who can get along in the hilly days.
