Team DSM coach Wilbert Broekhuizen: “Tour de l’Ain is an exciting race with a mixed parcours; featuring a flatter opening day before two stages in the hills and mountains. We arrive at the race with a young climber group, where we will aim to ride aggressively over the three days, looking for the best possible strategy to go for day results. It’s a good opportunity for the guys to gain more experience, and a race where we can work together to try and achieve those results. We are also happy to see Florian make his return to racing for us after his injury earlier in the year.”
