Two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe will lead the Soudal Quick-Step Pro Cycling Team in the XXXII Garden Hotels-Challenge Ciclista Mallorca. The charismatic French rider, who has built a remarkable track record, with two world titles, a Milan-San Remo, a triplet of victories in the Fleche Wallonne, a Strade Bianche, a San Sebastián Classic and half a dozen stage victories in the Tour de France, he will return to the roads of Mallorca nine years later, to start a season that he faces with great motivation after an irregular 2022.
Alaphilippe will lead an outstanding list of entries from Soudal Quick-Step, including Remi Cavagna, also a Frenchman, Andrea Bagioli, Fausto Masnada and Davide Ballerini from Italy, and Casper Pedersen from Denmark.
