Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team release trailer for new film One Year in Blue (VIDEO)

During the 2016 season, which kicked off with a training camp in Calpe and ended in Qatar, a film crew from Woestijnvis, the renowned production house based in Brussels, joined the Etixx-Quick Step cycling team’s riders and captured the highs and lows, the most memorable victories and moments of the campaign, as well as the disappointments for the team

The end result is the movie ‘One Year In Blue: On the road with Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team’ which will be launched during the Team Presentation on the 11th of January 2017. The screening will take place at the Kinepolis Cinema in Kortrijk (Belgium)

“It’s unusual to have a filming crew with you all the time, but I must say the result is great. I like the way all the small stories that happen in a cycling team were bonded together. As rider you never see what happens around you because you are focused only on the race. It was nice to see how the other riders and the staff reacted in the crucial moments. It’s something really worth watching and our fans will love it!”, said Tom Boonen.

Tom Boonen, Julian Alaphilippe and Marcel Kittel are just some of the riders which this project focuses on, and the film features footage from January’s training camp in Spain through to the final race of the season, which witnessed the team’s 57th road win of 2016.

The premiere of the movie will take place on January 11th, a few days before the start of the new season. Sponsors, special guests and journalists will be present at the event, but fans will also have the opportunity to purchase tickets and experience the event, which will see the riders presented on the red carpet before the movie.
