KNOX ON THE RISE
James Knox (far right) made his debut in Quick
Step Floors kit alongside his new team-mates
in Calpe, Spain, in December. Quick Step DS Brian
Holm was full of praise for the team’s new signing,
saying: “There aren’t too many climbers in the
world but he is one of them, and at our first
training camp in December we also saw that he
is a really smart kid too.” The talented climber,
who was runner-up at the U23 version of Liège-
Bastogne-Liège and placed eighth in the Tour
de l’Avenir last year, will be looking to use his
climbing pedigree in his first race for his new
team up Green Mountain at the Tour of Oman.4 | January 11, 2018 | Cycling Weekly
