Omega Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team has announced the riders that will participate, for their respective countries, in the UCI World TT Championships on Wednesday, Sept. 25th. Tony Martin defends the rainbow stripes after winning in 2012 while riding for Germany. German rider Bert Grabsch will also participate. Other OPQS riders competing on Wednesday include Kristof Vandewalle (Belgium), Sylvain Chavanel (France), Michal Kwiatkowski (Poland), and Niki Terpstra (Holland).
"I am full of motivation," Martin said. "I thought on Sunday the conditions are really good. I gained good experience on the roads during the Worlds TTT as we ride the same course on Wednesday. It was a nice lesson and preparation for me. The most important thing is for the head now, to know we have one gold medal for OPQS already and the pressure is off a little. I can ride a little more relaxed on Wednesday."
