Etixx - Quick-Step has announced the selection that will participate in Tour de Suisse, a nine-stage, 1320.8km race from June 13th until the 21st of June. In the 2014 edition Tony Martin won both time trials, and wore the leader's jersey until the 9th and final stage before finishing 4th overall. Martin will not participate. He is racing the Critérium du Dauphiné, which ends on the 13th of June.
The team goes into the race with dual ambitions. Mark Cavendish will target success in the sprints and he will be supported by a strong lead-out train made up of Mark Renshaw and Matteo Trentin.
The second goal will be the GC in which the team hopes that Michal Kwiatkowski will be able to do well. He will be supported by Gianluca Brambilla and Michal Golas in the mountains.
Trentin and Zdenek Stybar will take their chances in some of the lumpy stages. The team is completed by Julien Vermote.
