Team DSM coach Bennie Lambregts: “Heistse Pijl is a typically aggressive Belgian classic with a lot of attacks and breakaways, but most of the time it is traditionally decided in some sort of sprint finish. However, we want to race as offensive block and with good communication so that we never miss the important breaks if and when they do form. If it all comes down to a sprint in the finale then we will go for Patrick as our finisher, and fight for a good result.”
