On Friday, Trek Factory Racing Team has presented their 2014 in Roubaix in France. Among the team leaders were Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara and the Schleck brothers. The team is new on the Pro Tour replacing the Luxembourgian RadioShack Leopard Trek.

 

The team includes riders like Cancellara, the Schleck brothers, Jens Voigt, Robert Kiserlovski and Fabio Felline. Team boss Luca Guercilana said that the team wants to win as many races as possible.

 

“We hope to win as many races as possible, but I prefer quality to quantity,” team boss Luca Guercilana said according to Velonews.com. “Our two primary objectives are to win the classics and finish on the podium in the Tour de France.

 

“We have very experienced riders but we needed youngsters to complete the team. The mix of youth and experience will be the key to success.”

 

The team captain will be Fabian Cancellara, who has won the World’s TT four times, Paris-Roubaix three times, Tour of Flanders two times and eight Tour de France stages. This season, he will ride for his fourth victory in Paris-Roubaix.

 

“I have many ambitions, not just one. The hour record is something we have talked about but nothing has been decided,” said Cancellara, who is also likely to try and win the Paris-Roubaix classic for the fourth time and equal the record held by Belgian duo Roger De Vlaeminck and Tom Boonen."

 

Another of the Trek Factory Racing Team stars will be the elder of the two Schleck, Fränk Schleck. Fränk is returning from a doping conviction. After Trek bought the team license, Fränk Schleck was able to stay together with his brother and he now wants to show what he is capable off.  

 

“I want to show that I am not finished. I can’t wait to attack the new season,” said the 33-year-old, who will begin his season at the Santos Tour Down Under later this month and has also made the Tour de France one of his stated aims for the year.

 

“I have had a lot of support and continued to train during my ban,” said Schleck. “It could be interesting at the start, but I am sure I will be fine.”

 

2014 Trek Factory Racing Team squad:

Andy Schleck, Bob Jungels, Boy Van Poppel, Calvin Watson, Danilo Hondo, Danny Van Poppel, Eugenio Alafaci, Fabian Cancellara, Fabio Felline, Fabio Silvestre, Fränk Schleck, Fumiyuki Beppu, Giacomo Nizzolo, Gregory Rast, Haimar Zubeldia, Hayden Roulston, Jasper Stuyven, Jens Voigt, Jesse Sergent, Julian Arrendondo, Kristof Vandewalle, Laurent Didier, Markel Irizar, Matthew Busche, Riccardo Zoidl, Robert Kiserlovski, Stijn Devolder and Yaroslav Popovych
