Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Roy Curvers: “We bring a strong team to France where our goal will be to hunt for stage results. On stages that are decided in bunch sprints we will look after Casper as our finisher, who can count on good support from the other guys. This year’s edition also includes two classic style days as we move towards the weekend. On Friday, we have a cobbled stage where specialists like John and Nils will be supported as our finishers on a parcours they should find to their liking. Then on Saturday, the classic Mount Cassel stage will define the GC where we will also then hope John and Nils should be able to play a role with some good support from the team.”
