Team DSM coach Marcel Sieberg: “Tour of Leuven is a hard race where the first part of the route is a bit similar to Brabantse Pijl and the last part is comparable with the route from the recent World Championships in 2021. We bring a nice and well mixed team, with Joost and Axel joining us from the Development program which will be a good experience for them. With Casper and Cees we have two options for fast finishers who can survive the hills and potentially play a role in the final depending on how the day is raced.”
