Team DSM coach Boris Zimine: “The Tour Alsace is a race which takes place over five days following in the Alsace region, and is one that suits the all-rounders. The riders will take on a nice mix between long climbs, explosive climbs and some sprint stages. The race begins with a team time trial with the teams being split into two groups, which will be a good experience for the riders. After taking seventh in GC at the Baby Giro, Hannes will be a good option and finisher for us in the GC and mountains stages. While Casper will be our sprint finisher and we have a really good and strong team to help execute our plans on each stage. We are looking forward to an offensive race.”
