Team DSM coach Phil West: “For the “Race to the Sun”, our goal will be to target the general classification with Romain as our finisher. We think that the parcours should suit him quite well and we have a good line-up there to also support him in a good way, but also contest the group sprint stages. The queen stage will finish very close to Romain’s home, so he will bring some extra motivation to the race. Next to looking for the GC, we will also hunt for stage results. Alongside the two uphill finishes, where Chris and Kevin will look after Romain, we will also look for our chances with Nils, John and Pavel.”
