In 2014 Stijn was one of the pillars of the team in the northern classics. Born in Oudenaarde, in the heart of Flanders, Stijn is a great athlete and a nice guy who can instill calm and confidence in the entire group. His influence can be seen in almost all of Boonen’s greatest victories. In 2013, at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, he achieved a fantastic second place, outsprinted by a faster Paolini after riding an attacking race. Stijn, orphaned by his captain.

In 2014 Vandenbergh earned 4th out of a breakaway in Ronde van Vlaanderen, in a race where three of the team finished in the top 10 of the race. He was also 4th at E3 Harelbeke while teammate Niki Terpstra finished 2nd.  He did not participate in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad because he became the father of a beautiful daughter the night before. Now Stijn is ready to place himself at the service of Boonen and the other team leaders again, knowing that when the opportunity arises, he won’t hesitate to go for the win. His adversaries can consider themselves warned!

Stijn's news

Etixx - Quick-Step has announced the selection that will participate in legendary Northern Classic, Ronde van Vlaanderen on Sunday. There are 19 Belgian climbs (Hellingen) in De Ronde, which starts in Brugge and ends in Oudenaarde after 264.9km. The most notable hellingen are at least partially cobbled and will be a factor in the final kilometers. The Koppenberg is climbed once with 45km to go and includes a max ramp of 22 percent. It was moved to later in the race in 2015, which gives riders less of a chance to recover before the next key climbs. The Oude Kwaremont (2.2km, 4.2% average gradient) is climbed at 153km to go, 53km remaining, and 17km to go. Finally, the Paterberg, only 400m in total distance but challenging nonetheless with its cobbled and steep characteristics, is ascended twice at 52km to go and 14km remaining.

Gent - Wevelgem is typically known as a sprinter's classic, but due to incredibly bad weather, including crosswinds that blew riders off bikes and all over the road, the race was far from conducive for a group arrival.

Etixx - Quick-Step has announced the selection that will participate in 240km Gent - Wevelgem on Sunday. The UCI WorldTour race, considered a sprinter's Classic, includes nine Belgian climbs (hellingen) between the Casselberg, Catsberg, Baneberg, Kemmelberg, and Monteberg from Deinze to Wevelgem.
