Team dsm-firmenich coach Bennie Lambregts: “The Tour d’Alsace is a really nice but hard race where we have to show really good teamwork, to get the best possible out of it. The race kicks off with an opening TTT, where we want to have a good start to the week before we will look for our chances on every stage. With Frank van den Broek we will also have a new rider racing in the Team dsm-firmenich colours. We are looking forward to a hard race with a nice group and to work together on the overall development and teamwork.”
