Stybar points to Etixx’s strength in numbers


Strade Bianche winner ZdenÄ›k Štybar (Etixx-QuickStep) returns to racing at E3 Harelbeke after crashing in Milan-San Remo last weekend. The Czech national road champion will ride alongside team leader Niki Terptra but the former cyclo-cross rider believes the team has strength in depth with potential winners throughout the squad.


“I hope the form is good after Milan-San Remo. I had two crashes and I felt a little bit stiff afterwards but now I’m back to normal,” he told Cyclingnews after signing on at the start.

“As a team we’re really strong and we have a few options. I’ll try and do my best but as a team we come into the races trying to win. I think me and Niki will bounce off each other as leaders but we have a strong team so it doesn’t matter who it is that goes for victory.”


Cancellara looks to lay down a marker
