Team DSM coach Boris Zimine: “It is a special race for the U23 peloton, also because of the big-name that comes along with it. Just as in the pro category it has quite a hilly and hard parcours, making for a challenging race. In the past, the winner has came either from a breakaway that made it to the finish line or from a reduced bunch that fought it out for the win. We want to ride an aggressive race and aim to try and get a good result by being focused and riding well together as a team, creating those opportunities.”
