Team DSM coach Michiel Elijzen: “For the Czech Tour we want to focus on day results; with a TTT, a sprint stage and two harder stages we have a balanced team to go for results on every day of racing. The second stage should end in a sprint and we’ll work to set up Max for the finish on that day, while the last two stages are suited to a breakaway or a finale with a select group of riders coming to the line together. We have had some good weeks training at altitude together in Kühtai so everyone is excited to get back racing and should be at a good level.”
