AlUla Tour will be a great opportunity for Tim Merlier to start the 2024 in style as the Middle East race offers two to three chances for sprinters. Merlier can rely on support of his Belgian leadout Bert Van Lerberghe. Besides Merlier, Van Lerberghe and Martin Svrcek, the lineup includes four debutants in the Soudal - Quick-Step jersey.
"We are going to Saudi Arabia with a solid team. The guys are excited to start their season and we hope for some nice results there. Tim is our leader and he will try, supported by a strong lead-out, to be in the mix on the flat. We’re also eager to see our new guys in action, it will be a good test for them," is the opinion of sports director Davide Bramati.
Soudal - Quick-Step lineup for AlUla Tour:
Tim Merlier, Ayco Bastiaens, William Junior Lecerf, Martin Svrcek, Bert Van Lerberghe, Warre Vangheluwe and Jordi Warlop

- If anyone would be interested enough to launch an official survey as to who out of these three should shut up, I don’t know who’d win but I’m due Boonen would be way back in 3rd place.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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
