Quick Step Domination
What team has the current World Champion and the reigning Olymipic Road Race Champ, plus several top classics riders? Quick-Step looks strong this year and the team flexed its muscles in three separate races this week.
Remmert Wielinga won the GP Chiasso, Nick Nuyens won Kuurne Busselles Kuurne and Paolo Bettini took the GP Lugano.
Our team was fantastic today – Bettini said, with this his 2nd win of the season – at the bottom of the final ascent I had 4 other team members around me. Scarselli, Wielinga, Vasseur and Van de Walle all did a fantastic job that I went on to finish. I’m in good form and must admit that I’m having a great start to the season. I am motivated and want to make the most of this and the great form that I am in order to try and get a few more victories under my belt
Some very impressive results show that the Belgian team has good form for the Classics which are still a month away. Milan San Remo will be a challenege with Paolo Bettini and Tom Boonen both aspriring to win the race.
