Team DSM coach Roy Curvers: “We’re delighted that we’re able to add Coppi Bartali to our schedule; a race like this is really important for the development of our young riders which will also be our main focus during the week. With a mixture of sprint stages, hilly stages and a TTT; the race has a versatile parcours which will give us a different challenge every day. Our objective will be to go for nice stage results by practicing good teamwork and every day we need to apply a different strategy to go for the best possible result. It’s a great way for the team to gain experience and explore different racing scenarios, all of which is a great part of their development.”
