Team DSM coach Phil West said: “With 12 climbs and five pave sectors in the parcours we can expect a busy race at Dwars door Vlaanderen. As in Gent-Wevelgem, it will be super important that we are tight together and positioned well coming into the key climbs. In the second half of the race we’ll look to race aggressively and put John and Soren in position for the final. We make a line-up change with Nils Eekhoff out and Kevin Vermaerke in. Nils still needs a few more days away from the races after his crash at Paris-Nice. Our medical team will re-assess at the end of the week to decide if he is fit for Flanders.”
