Lotto Belisol have several options for this year's Paris-Nice as the team lines up two puncheurs in Tony Gallopin and Maxime Monfort. With the course having no time trials or high summit finishes, the team hopes that their two captains can play a role in the GC while Jelle Vanendert will use the race to continue his preparation for the Ardennes classics and Kris Boeckmans will target the sprints.
This year's Paris-Nice has been described as an open and novel affair as the race has no time trial or major summit finishes, meaning that it suit aggressive, punchy, and fast riders. Lotto Belisol hope that this fact will play into their hands when they line up a versatile roster for the Race to the Sun.
The team has two cards two play in the battle for the final win. Maxime Monfort who has twice finished in the top 10, is well-suited to the short, punchy climbs that litter the course and he hopes to use the race to further his preparation for the Giro d'Italia.
