Team DSM coach Nicolas Marche: “This is the first Women’s WorldTour race of the year and we’re looking forward to it after a good week of racing at the Women’s Tour Down Under. Last year the finale of the race proved to be difficult and we expect it to be similar this year, with a hard pace on the last climb. Liane proved her shape with second place on GC last week so we’ll work to set her up for the final climb. If it comes back together for a reduced sprint then the finish suits Leah perfectly.”
