Quick-Step Cycling Team has officially announced the formation which will be participating in the Giro di Lombardia next Saturday on a renovated route.

"The race route has changed and, at least on paper, it looks harder than the one from previous years” Sports Director Davide Bramati says. “If the race starts out immediately at a fast pace, it will be game on from the very first climb. It will be important not to lose any men in the first phase of the race, so we can guarantee support for important athletes like Chavanel, Devenyns and Cataldo until things really start heating up on the ramps of Ghisallo, which has always been the climb that brings out the best in the field. Our objective is to ride a good race and try for an important placement in one of the most prestigious races of the season, which has already seen our team as major players in the recent past."
