Julian Alaphilippe and Remco Evenepoel will head their Deceuninck-QuickStep team at the GP Cycliste de Québec and the GP Cycliste de Montréal one-day races later this week. Both riders will use the Canadian WorldTour events as some of their last preparation ahead of the UCI Road World Championships road race in Yorkshire, in the UK, which are held from September 22-29.

Alaphilippe, who will represent France, is one of the big favourites for the Worlds road race on September 29, while 19-year-old Belgian star Evenepoel will ride both the road race and the individual time trial, which takes place on September 25.
