Team DSM coach Phil West: “Opening Weekend is always a keenly anticipated part of the season and this year is no different as we head towards Belgium where we’ll take on Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Our classics riders had a good start to the season already at TDU, San Juan, Saudi, and Algarve respectively and so we arrive to the Opening Weekend already with some good racing under the belt and motivated for the start of classics season. We have a mixture of youth and experience in the team for Omloop where we’ll race actively and look for our opportunities. The focus will remain on being solid as a team, supporting each other and staying in the fight at every moment. When we do this in a good way then we are confident that we’ll come away from these races happy with the outcome.”
