Team Europcar has announced the names of the riders who will compete next week the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. The squad will notably include the climber Pierre Rolland and the sprinter Bryan Coquard.

"The race will be hectic, since there is never really a flat stage. There will certainly be some sprints from small groups, suitable for Bryan Coquard. The priority will be a stage victory: with what he has shown, Bryan Coquard will have options to shine at the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. This is our best chance", Romain Sicard explained according to 100 pour 100 vélo.

The Team Europcar rider added: "Pierre will be present and my first goal will be to support him. This will allow us to learn how to work together. Cyril is also in excellent condition.. He demonstrated in Paris-Nice that he has worked hard, and he will have his card to play in some stages."

Team Europcar squad: Pierre Rolland, Cyril Gautier, Romain Sicard, Jérôme Cousin, Perrig Quémeneur, Fabrice Jeandesboz, Bryan Coquard and Julien Morice.
