Etixx - Quick-Step has announced the selection that will participate in Paris - Tours, a 231km one-day race with a mostly flat parcours that is favorable for the bunch arrival.
"We have a competitive team that can be good for a solution that normally ends in a sprint," Sport Director Wilfried Peeters said. "We have guys like Matteo Trentin and Gianni Meersman, who are fast guys that can contest this kind of finish. Matteo showed in the last weeks that he is passing a great moment of condition. Then we have Niki Terpstra and Yves Lampaert, who can always do something, such as the Binche-Chimay-Binche solo attack of Niki just days ago. So, the team is balanced for various kinds of race situations, and we go there with the hope to end our road season with a good moment."
