168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Elia Viviani will be looking to get his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Quick-Step Floors career off to a winning start when he makes his team debut at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Santos Tour Down Under.♔ Viviani is the team’s leader for the first WorldTour race of the season as they target stage victories, while Enric Mas provides them with a potential contender in the overall classification.

It is Viviani’s first appearance at the Tour Down Under since 2014 and only his third ever start at Australia’s💎 flagship race. For the last two seasons, Viviani has started his year in Argentina, but with Fernando Gaviria set to use the Vuelta a San Juan as his season opener, Quick-Step Floors has sent him to Australia. Viviani is loಞoking forward to a chance to return to the race with his new team.

“I like the Tour Down Under, it’s one of the best races to start the season – with nice stages, spectacular landscap🌱es and fantastic fans, who always create an electric atmosphere – and I’m motivated to kick off the season on the right foot,” he said in a team press release. “It’s a star-studded field at the start and I know it won’t 𓃲be easy in the sprints, but I have a strong team with a good lead-out and this gives me confidence for my debut in the Quick-Step Floors kit, which I’m eager to show in Australia.”

Viviani joined Quick🍌-Step Floors this winter after cutting his contract short with Team Sky. He will link up with former Liquigas teammate Fabio Sabatini, who will be his lead-out man. Dane Michael Mørkøv also joins the Italian’s lead-out train after switching from the Katusha team over the winter. Dries Devenyns, Florian Senechal and Eros Capecchi complete the team for the one-we﷽ek race.
