We have selected a powerful, experienced squad for Gent-Wevelgem in Flanders Fields that features two former winners of the race. Edvald Boasson Hagen (2009) and Bernie Eisel (2010) earn starting berths for Sunday’s race which runs to just over 250km. Giacomo Nizzolo is back in our starting lineup and will be relying on the likes of Reinardt Janse van Rensburg to position him for the sprint if the race finish comes to that. And our team has further cards to play with the likes of Michael Valgren and Boasson Hagen after they raced at Friday’s E3 Binckbank Classic after some time away. The hugely experienced.
