The same Liquigas-Bianchi team that took part in the Ronde Van Vlaanderen will engage themselves in today's Gent-Wevelgem ProTour race, but the team's main focus is most certainly Paris-Roubaix this Sunday.
"In the Tour of Flanders, I was very close to my optimum fitness," said Magnus Backstedt, whose eyes are firmly fixed on the defence of his Paris-Roubaix title won last year. "Today, I will try to remain in the centre of the race without forcing too much; my first true goal is the Paris-Roubaix."
Team roster: Magnus Backstedt, Mauro Gerosa, Nicola Loda, Marcus Ljungqvist, Michael Albasini, Marco Righetto, Gianluca Sironi and Marco Zanotti. Team manager: Dario Mariuzzo
German team Gerolsteiner will most likely be relying on Frank Hoj and René Haselbacher for a good showing in Gent-Wevelgem.
Team roster: René Haselbacher, Frank Hoj, Robert Förster, Sebastian Lang, Sven Krauss, Marco Serpellini, Peter Wrolich, Thomas Ziegler
