Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka are scheduled to get their 2016 Spring Classics Campaign underway in Belgium with the E3 Harelbeke set to take place on Friday 25 March.

The E3 Harelbeke is scheduled to be the first Belgian classic of the year for the team which will send a motivated roster to the 203km World Tour event. Tyler Farrar, Mark Renshaw, Matt Brammeier, Reinardt Janse van Rensburg, Jay Thomson, Nic Dougall and Mekseb Debesay will be the riders lining up in Harelbeke on Friday. Unfortunately, due to a number of injuries and illnesses, the African Team will only start with 7 riders tomorrow.

Matt Brammeier said:

"It is our first race on Belgian soil this year and I think I can safely say the whole team are raring to go and can't wait to get stuck into the cobbled races. We had a strong start to the year, especially with Eddy who of course, will be our man for the next few races but for E3, we will look to take our chances. The whole team is super motivated and we all believe in each other 100% that we can perform well over the following weeks. "
