Soudal Quick-Step will line up to not less than three races on Tuesday. Tim Merlier will be the sprint leader in Münster, while Julian Alaphilippe will get another shot in Italy's Tre Valli Varesine and lastly a strong team around Fabio Jakobsen will hunt success on home roads of Binche-Chimay-Binche.
"Münsterland Giro is an event we like, and we can be in for a very hard race, due to the rain and winds. Normally, it’s a bunch sprint there, but we need to wait and see how things go. If it’s a mass gallop, then Tim will try to be there with Bert as his lead-out man, so we’re pretty confident in our chances," said sports director Geert Van Bondt.
Soudal Quick-Step lineup for Münsterland Giro:
Tim Merlier, Rémi Cavagna, Josef Cerny, Lars Craps, Jannik Steimle, Bert Van Lerberghe and Stan Van Tricht
"The team showed a lot of grinta at the Coppa Bernocchi, and this is something we will carry into Tuesday’s Tre Valli Varesine. The parcours isn’t easy, but we have a good team and we will once again try to be in the mix at the right moment," explained Davide Bramati.
Soudal Quick-Step lineup for Tre Valli Varesine:
Julian Alaphilippe, Jan Hirt, James Knox, Ilan Van Wilder, Mauri Vansevenant, Louis Vervaeke and William Junior Lecerf
"Binche-Chimay-Binche will be a very demanding race. We can expect rain and winds, meaning we could have echelons at some point. The really narrow roads on the circuit and the finish line on the cobblestones will make it tricky, so you need a lot of power to be there and in contention for the victory. We go there determined to do a good race and show the Wolfpack spirit," added sports director Tom Steels.
Soudal Quick-Step lineup for Binche-Chimay-Binche:
Fabio Jakobsen, Kasper Asgreen, Yves Lampaert, Michael Mørkøv, Casper Pedersen, Florian Sénéchal and Ethan Vernon
