Team DSM coach Roy Curvers: “With the hilly character of the race, this is a typical race for fast punchers and strong sprinters. We come with a mix of classic specialists and sprint-orientated guys and we will be prepared for multiple scenarios. It is that kind of race where you should avoid missing important breaks because chasing on these parcours is never easy and costs a lot of energy. So we will come ready for an offensive race to look for our opportunities.”
