Starting tomorrow, team QUICK STEP will be busy on the roads of the Volta ao Algarve. Led by team managers Davide Bramati and Tom Steels, the team will be lining up in Portugal for the brief stage race which has already smiled on team QUICK STEP in the past.

"We’re starting out with a competitive squad - explains Tom Steels - With the aim of doing well in the race, both in the climbing stages and the sprint arrivals with Ciolek. As usual, the route is difficult and as always we’ll have to be careful and take advantage of every metre on the course. Luckily, the team boasts members like Chavanel, who has already finished this race twice in second place, in 2008 and 2009. He and Terpstra both will also have the advantage in the 17 kilometre-long time trial, in which they certainly could do well."
