Team DSM coach Boris Zimine: “The CRO Race is the perfect stage race to end the season in a good way for our group we have here. We face a variety of stage profiles, including some hilly days, flatter sprints, and punchy finish circuits which should make for an exciting week of racing. We take to the start line with a mixed squad made up of our Men’s and Development program riders, and our line-up allows us to play a role on different types of parcours. We want to race as an offensive block and we will try to ride in a way to take our chances every day.”
