Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Pim Ligthart: “For all our riders in the line-up, it is the first race after a small break this summer. With four stages on the menu, we want to be directly in the race, and take some inspiration from the guys at the Tour de France and their ride to Rimini. We have a fast guy for the first stage, with local hero Pavel on the team as our finisher there. After that first stage, we will face two mountain-top finishes back-to-back where the GC will most likely be decided, and we want to be in the mix there with Kevin as our finisher.”
