Team DSM coach Phil West: “Brugge-De Panne was once the traditional early spring classics for the sprinters and is always a fun one to watch. A change to the parcours for 2023 will see the race tackle the infamous “De Moeren” sector on the approach to the finish now, where the crosswinds can so often play a part in the outcome of this race. We arrive at this race with a strong sprint train, aiming to bring our fast finisher Sam into closing stages for a sprint.”
