Omega Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team has announced the selection that will participate in Paris-Brussel, a 216.8km race, on Saturday. The race features seven climbs, included the cobbled Keperenberg.
"Even if the final stretch in the Paris – Brussel is usually defined by a sprint, it is a hard, 220 km race," explained Tom Steels. "We're lining up at the start with a good team and at least 3 athletes who can put in a good sprint, that is to say Boonen, Fenn and Chicchi. Considering the kilometres of the race, it will also be a good test for the athletes who will participate in the World Championship in Valkenburg."
