Team DSM coach Pim Ligthart: “Rund um Köln takes place over an interesting parcours with several hills throughout the day and a flatter finale. We will approach the race with an open view. We will need to be sharp and always in the race, so that we can present in the front for any dangerous moves or split. If we can keep communicating well and stay in the race then the result will hopefully follow. We have a nice group that includes a lot of fast guys so we have multiple cards to play for the finish.”
