Stijn Devolder has multiple reasons to celebrate this week. He turned 28 years old today, only one day after signing a two-year contract with Quick.Step-Innergetic, and has been named captain of Discovery Channel's team for the Vuelta a España. The Belgian rider won the national road championship this year and took the overall title in the Tour of Austria.
He will be supported in Spain by Janez Brajkovic, Tom Danielson, Allan Davis, Egoi Martínez, Jason McCartney, Sergio Paulinho, José Luis Rubiera and Jurgen Van Goolen.
