Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team presents ‘One Year In Blue’ movie

During the 2016 season, television production company Woestijnvis shadowed the most winning team of the year to make a terrific behind the scenes movie, called One Year In Blue. This exclusive footage was shown only once to public in a cinema setting - during the official team presentation of Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team in Kinepolis Kortrijk. An unreal atmosphere awaited the riders at the Kinepolis Theater, where they got to meet their incredible fans (more than 3200 people) who came to the event and who are relentlessly supporting their favourite riders, showing their love and passion for the team with each occasion. As they walked on the red carpet, the team’s riders signed autographs, took selfies and exchanged a few words with the fans, before the start of the “One Year In Blue” movie. You can watch the trailer below:

“We were again the team with the most wins and looking at the whole picture also this season we are in a position to repeat this feat. Quick-Step Floors Cycling has a roster of major stars, which underlines the fact that they are capable of winning the Classics and playing a major role in the Grand Tours and week-long stage races. It’s a very balanced team, with many strong established stars and young talented riders who are capable of surprising, and Patrick deserves credit for that”, said Zdenek Bakala, who took over the team at the end of the 2010 season, helping it reach new heights one season after another. Part of the team are also two top Czech riders, Zdenek Stybar and Petr Vakoc. “2017 will be an important year. Last season I was unlucky in the Classics, but now I hope to find again the winning formula, be there when it matters and help the team land a big result”, said Zdenek Stybar, who will start his seventh season with Quick-Step Floors. In less than three months from now, Tom Boonen will be a retired rider, and the 36-year-old Belgian – who’s been with the team since its inception – is looking forward to his final races with Quick-Step Floors, confident he still has what it takes to fight for a record fifth victory in Paris-Roubaix, the “Queen of the Classics”: “This is my last year and I really want to enjoy every moment of itand every race I’ll do. It goes without saying that I would like to win Paris-Roubaix, which is my biggest goal of 2017, but until then I will take it each step at a time. After the Abu Dhabi injury led to me missing some weeks of training prior to the 2016 season, now everything is going according to plan and I hope I’ll stay healthy until Roubaix, where you can be sure I will do my best.” For more details from the team presentation, including the list of riders, please visit Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team website.
