Soudal Quick-Step brings young team lead by Ethan Vernon and Ilan Van Wilder for Deutschland Tour
CyclingWednesday, 23 August 2023 at 05:30
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

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
