Quick-Step with "big hopes" for Roubaix as they announce strong lineup
CyclingThursday, 14 April 2022 at 18:30
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team have been having a very complicated cobbled classics campaign, filled with injuries and illnesses, and they have one final opportunity at Paris-Roubaix to take a very important win.
The team will be headlined by Kasper Asgreen who has been the only rider so far bringing in strong results in the cobbles. The Dane has just finished sixth at Amstel Gold Race and will enjoy the long kilometers. In his two participations in the race he has been far from the top places, however he will be one of the main favourites for this coming weekend.
Tom Steels will be in the car behind the leaders on Sunday, and he has talked about the ambitions the team will carry onto the cobblestones: “We have big hopes for Paris-Roubaix, which we will start with a good team. It will be the final northern classic of this spring and we go there with confidence, motivation and the same fighting spirit, hoping luck will be on our side this time. We aim for a good result Sunday afternoon, when we’ll rely on several riders to try and make the difference”
Backing him up is a strong team full of quality and experience however it is unsure if all the pieces of the puzzle will fit. Local man Florian Sénéchal, Zdenek Stybar and Yves Lampaert are all outsider who on their best day are capable of fighting for the win, and so the Belgian team may have the capacity to fight for the wins if they play their cards.
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team for Paris-Roubaix: Kasper Asgreen, Davide Ballerini, Tim Declercq, Yves Lampaert, Florian Sénéchal, Jannik Steimle and Zdenek Stybar.

- 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
