Team DSM coach Pim Ligthart: “We will go into the Tour of Britain approaching each stage with a plan and seeing how the race unfolds on the road each day. The first stage already features an uphill finish, so the GC will get some shape from that but in general, we have some cards to play every day. With our Brits, Max and Oscar, joining us from the Development program alongside Chris, then we have good options when the road rises up while Cees gives us a card to play in the sprint finales. I think we have a balanced team and can search for our opportunities on each stage.”
