he Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team continues racing in Italy with the seven-day stage Tirreno Adriatico which starts on Monday. The team will be led by Strade Bianche runner-up Tom Pidcock alongside David De La Cruz, Damien Howson, Xabier Mikel Azparren, Gianluca Brambilla, Nick Zukowsky and Mark Donovan.

Sports director Gabriele Missaglia said: “Tirreno Adriatico is always a hard race where the weather can play an important role. Rain and cold temperatures are often the case and this week the predictions look rainy. If we look at the build-up of this race we focus on the middle part. The first stage is a short and flat time trial, followed by a sprint stage on Tuesday. The last stage on the Adriatic coast on Sunday is also for the sprinters.
"Tirreno Adriatico is always a hard race where the weather can play an important role."
We think about the stages in the mountains from Wednesday to Saturday where it’s important to show we race aggressively. Our ambition is to go for a stage win and a good result in the general classification with Tom. There are interesting stages for him. Then we will look day by day at the general classification.”
David De la Cruz looks forward to the time trial in Lido di Camaiore on Monday. The Spanish champion can’t wait to show his special Q36.5 skinsuit.
“When I became national champion last year, I said that I wanted a full white skinsuit with the Spanish national flag. Q36.5 made that for me, and I look forward to wearing it again on Monday. It’s so very special to represent your country. I did some work on the velodrome last week to work on my position on the time trial bike, so Monday’s time trial is an important goal for me. It’s the first one of the year!
For the rest of the week, I look forward to racing again with the team because it’s been a month since the Tour of Oman. I haven’t done the Tirreno Adriatico often before because I usually focused on Paris-Nice, but I look forward to doing something great with the team. The start to the season has been really great for all of us so let’s continue that good energy in this next big race.”
