Team DSM coach Roy Curvers: “This is a brand-new race on the calendar with which we bring a very versatile selection, who we can go for a good result with in different scenarios. The first part of the race takes on some hills so we will need good climbing legs there, and be ready to race so that we’re present in all of the important and dangerous breakaways. In the end if it comes down to a bunch sprint, then the guys will work to set up Marius, who showed recently in GP Monseré that he is able to compete for a nice result.”
