Steels’ recent stage win in the Tour of Catalonia has come just
in time for the Belgian sprinter, gaining him a place in Mapei ’s
Tour squad and giving him another chance to prove how skilful he is at finding a gap in the final meters of a bunch gallop.
In today’s peloton only Erik Zabel has won more sprints than Steels in the Tour, and with Freire by his side, the 30-year-old could be Zabel’s most dangerous opponent.
