Following Tour triumph with Evenepoel, Soudal Quick-Step eyes Vuelta glory: Eight riders poised for action
CyclingWednesday, 14 August 2024 at 18:21
Following the lead of many other teams, Soudal Quick-Step has also announced its eight-man roster for the Vuelta a España, which starts on Saturday. There are no real surprises in the lineup, with Mikel Landa serving as the team leader for the general classification.
"Eight fearless riders are ready for an epic and unforgettable adventure," is how The Wolfpack's communications team introduced the eight riders, whose names were displayed beneath a large, aggressive-looking dinosaur.
After a strong Tour de France, where he was tasked with supporting team leader Remco Evenepoel but still managed to finish an impressive fifth overall, Landa now has the opportunity to pursue his own success in his home race. Given his form (and stature), a top-three finish is within reach. Riders like Mattia Cattaneo, James Knox, and Mauri Vansevenant will need to support him in the high mountains, though each will also have the chance to chase their own luck from time to time. For top talent William Junior Lecerf, this will be his debut in a Grand Tour. The 21-year-old Belgian has already shown some impressive performances in shorter stage races earlier this year.
The rest of the lineup includes strong riders and road captains like Kasper Asgreen, Casper Pedersen, and Louis Vervaeke. They could also join breakaways in certain stages. For Asgreen and Cattaneo, the two individual time trials will be particularly important.

- Talk is cheap! Next year barring crashes with a healthy team... all well be on track! Some need to talk to make a headline!mootman27-11-2024
- I do not see this event listed on HBO Max Sports Online? Can anyone confirm? Thanks!
MrYuck23-11-2024 - It seemed that he was focusing forward at the time of the crash, after seeing a quick video snippet. But one thing I think he should focus on more intently is breaking a bad habit he has, right now. And that is his constant looking over his shoulders. He does that so much, that I am very sure it is not good for him. Simply watch videos of the greats of CX and you will see very little of that constant looking over their shoulders. That is a behavior that betrays a bit of insecurity on his part. He shouldn't be so concerned, incessantly, about what is over his shoulder. He needn't worry they didn't all disappear. He neds to keep his focus more ahead of himself, and he needs to pay a bit more attention to himself, in a confident manner. It is very frustrating to watch, because it is apparent that he has a lot of potential, and is in much better shape thwan many of his competitors, but the mental game needs to be sharpened more, because that part of strategy plays a huge part in the final results
reemmo022-11-2024 - hahahaha love this shit! I didnt even watched the race, but reading all the gossip articles of how stupid this is!Zatoichi19-11-2024
- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
