Soudal-Quick-Step confirm Amstel Gold Race lineup with Remco Evenepoel & Julian Alaphilippe both absent

Soudal - Quick-Step have confirmed their seven-man lineup for the 2023 Amstel Gold Race. As expected both Remco Evenepoel and Julian Alaphilippe are absent with Remi Cavagna and Andrea Bagioli set to lead.

In the absence of the team's two star riders, Soudal - Quick-Step, who are desperately in need of a good result after a poor spring calendar, will be hoping the Amstel Gold Race can bring about a change in their fortunes. Cavagna, a podium finisher a Brabantse Pijl earlier this week will possibly be their best chance of pulling off a victory.

“Amstel is a hard and very demanding race. There’s a lot of climbing, narrow roads, left and right, and road furniture that’s why it’s important to stay attentive the whole time," Soudal Quick-Step sports director Geert Van Bondt told their team's official website. "Many of our guys here come from the Basque Country and Brabantse Pijl, where they put in some strong displays, so we are confident in our chances of getting a good result. Andrea and Mauro can do something on this course supported by what’s a strong and motivated team.”

Soudal - Quick-Step for Amstel Gold Race:

Andrea Bagioli, Remi Cavagna, Dries Devenyns, Mauro Schmid, Jannik Steimle, Martin Svrcek and Stan Van Tricht.
