Quick-Step Floors is starting at the Tour de Pologne with a versatile team that can tackle every terrain and look for more victories to add to its outstanding 2018 season.
The race features stages for climbers, puncheurs and fast men, in which riders like Alvaro Hodeg and Laurens De Plus can show their talents. The Colombian sprinter will have a strong lead-out train that includes Davide Martinelli, Michael Mørkøv and Fabio Sabatini.
"Always a well-organised race, the Tour de Pologne is the first big and important appointment for many of the riders after the summer break, so motivation won’t be a problem", said sports director Rik van Slycke.
"The rolling parcours, with many steep climbs, is a selective one and the weather could also be a factor during the week like it was the case on many of the previous editions, but we are prepared to play a role there, be it in sprints, breakaways or uphill finishes."
Quick-Step Floors' complete line-up for the Tour de Pologne (4th to 10th of August):
Eros Capecchi
Laurens De Plus
Dries Devenyns
Alvaro Jose Hodeg Chagui
Davide Martinelli
Michael Mørkøv
Fabio Sabatini
