Team dsm-firmenich coach Roy Curvers: “We go into the Grand Prix Criquielion as defending champions, so we head back with some nice memories in our pockets. With a typically Belgian parcours, the race includes a mix of small roads and some short hills and the weather will decide if this race has a classic character or will be decided in a bunch sprint. We will be prepared for both scenarios and with guys like Pavel and Emils, we have finishers that can handle both scenarios.”
