Ag2r have announced their line-up for the Tour of Flanders and Scheldeprijs.

Damien Gaudin and Sebastien Turgot will lead the team that also has Sebastien Minard as a third card. Maxime Daniel is likely to target success in Scheldeprijs.

Huge Houle will have a support role.

"I stayed all week long at my French home in Saint-Restitut, in Provence," he said. "I trained well and I rested. I feel great and it’s important because De Ronde is mentally and physically a war.  I have to ride more aggressively than during the first Belgian classics. 

"The days before give a special feeling, like a mix of stress and excitement to participate inone of the greatest races of cycling. To join the breakaway would be great. 

"After the classics, I will go back to Quebec to prepare my second participation in the Giro d’Italia."
