After having success at trying altitude camps before the Tour de France, Etixx-QuickStep’s Matteo Trentin will try a camp at Mount Etna, Sicily in order to try and give him the edge for the Spring Classics.

“I always do altitude camp in the summer, usually about 15 to 20 days. It works really well, so let’s try if it will work for the classics,” Trentin told VeloNews. “I will head to Etna to see if it will give me a boost.”

Trentin wont lead the Belgian squad in the Classics, as he has Tom Boonen, Niki Terpstra and Zdenek Stybar in front of him in the list of leaders. Nonetheless, he has won Paris-Tours in the past, as well as finishing third in E3.

“We have the big guys, with Tom, Stybie, Niki, but even like last year, I was third in Harelbeke,” Trentin said. “Everyone is very clear about this. We all want to win, but it’s important that the team wins.”

Trentin says that he is an anomaly for an Italian rider, as he doesn’t dream of winning a Grand Tour, but a Monument.

“It’s always a childhood dream to win a big classic,” Trentin said. “It would be nice to win such a race just once. To win just one of these monuments would be like a dream. Being on this team, with such a big history, it’s something that I am very proud of.”
