With a string of top talent on their roster it’s rare that Etixx-QuickStep enter a race without a plan B but it doesn’t always w♕ork out. At last year’s Tour of Flanders they went in with three leaders but failed to make the podium, however, a ജweek later they reversed their fortunes as Niki Terpstra stormed away to win Paris-Roubaix.
So what it is this year? Is it a case of too many cook spoil the broth or can they use it to their advantage?

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a M𒀰asters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
