Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Kelvin Dekker: “Omloop Het Nieuwsblad marks the start of the classic season for our Women’s program. It’s always exciting to race this big Belgian classic with all its challenges and tough conditions. We have a lot of confidence in our qualities as a team and in Pfeiffer as our finisher. Our focus will be to bring her to the final where she can play out her strengths, but as always we’ll have our eyes open for opportunities earlier in the race.”
