Omega-Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team has officially announced the formation that will take part in the Critérium du Dauphiné , scheduled from the June 3 through the 10th of June.
"The Dauphiné is a very important race to prepare our athletes for the Tour de France" Sport Director Brian Holm said. "The route is quite challenging, with lots of climbs that will be fundamental for our athletes to find their proper racing rhythm on climbs. The Prologue on Sunday and the long time trial next Thursday will also be two important tests for Tony Martin, fresh off his success at the Tour of Belgium and for Sylvain Chavanel, who is returning to racing after a period of high altitude training. The squad is well balanced and ready to make their mark on the roads of the Dauphiné. The time trial and the last two days on the Alps will be decisive for the final classification. Day after day we'll see how to develop our racing tactics based on the conditions of our athletes and the route."
