Team DSM coach Roy Curvers: “Short hills, cobbles and small open roads are the ingredients for a typical Belgian spring race and we will see all of that in Nokere Koerse. We start the race with multiple fast guys which gives us the luxury to have more scenarios that could lead to a good result for the team. We also have to be ready for an offensive race to put ourselves in position to use that luxury. If we are behind the facts for a little moment and in a position that we have to close a gap, that can cost the whole race, so we need to be switched on throughout.”
