Team DSM coach Phil West: “Typically a race for a strong rider who can sprint, Le Samyn comes as the third and final race of our Opening Weekend block. With a fast and technical parcours, we will again need to be well positioned and attentive as a team together throughout. The sectors and short climbs coming late on the local lap can be decisive in this race and so we cannot hesitate when the attacks are coming and need to ensure we are always present in those moments. When our teamwork is on point and we do the basic things well then I believe we can be competitive on the difficult finish here.”
