Deutschland Tour will once again kick off with a short prologue which will distribute starting hands for each team and rider. Stages 2 and 3 will provide opportunities for those who want to create moves in the GC, while stages 4 and 5 should go down in a bunch sprint.
Quick-Step's biggest assets for the final GC will be either Mauro Schmid or Ilan Van Wilder, who can pull off very good time against the clock, while gaining time on their opponents uphill. Ethan Vernon will focus on sprint finishes, while the opening prologue might be an interesting goal for the 22-year old Briton.
"Ethan will be our man for the flat, including the prologue, where he has shown in the past what he is capable of. When it comes to the GC fight, we’ll count on Mauro and Ilan, who as you can see will be supported by a strong team. The course can make for a very open and entertaining race, and we look forward to it," said sports director Davide Bramati.
Soudal Quick-Step lineup for Deutschland Tour:
Ethan Vernon, Mauro Schmid, Ilan Van Wilder, Martin Svrcek, Jannik Steimle and Dries Devenyns
