Wanty-Groupe Gobert will line up in Gippingen on Thursday and the Tour de Suisse on Saturday. It's the ninth WorldTour wildcard the team receives this year. In 2014 Jérôme Baugnies finished third in Gippingen but Enrico Gasparotto is also ambitious for the races in Switzerland, where the Italian lives.
“I felt really good last week in Luxembourg and was one of the strongest in the race. However sometimes the strongest riders don’t win. I am happy with the training I did at home and feel well-prepared for the GP Aargau/Gippingen and the Tour de Suisse. My goal is to win Gippingen and go for a stage win in Tour de Suisse.”
The team led by Hilaire Van Der Schueren and Sébastien Demarbaix consists of Gasparotto and Baugnies, plus Francis De Greef (BEL), Simone Antonini (ITA), Marco Minnaard (NED), Frederik Backaert (BEL), Marco Marcato (ITA) and Mirko Selvaggi (ITA).
Team Wanty-Groupe Gobert will ride the Tour de Suisse in a specially designed team kit.
