Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Luke Roberts: “In recent editions of Milano-Torino we had a change in the race design, from being a race for the climbers to being one for the pure sprinters. This year’s edition will again have a change, with the inclusion of two climbs in the final 40 kilometres offering opportunities for the punchier riders and creating a challenge for the sprinters. We expect an aggressive and exciting final where we will need to be prepared to go with the attacks and also have a card to play in the event of a reduced bunch sprint.”
