Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Roy Curvers: “Omloop van het Houtland is a race that is typical for this time of the year in Belgium. On paper it should be a bunch sprint, but we have seen in previous editions that the weather conditions play a big part in the outcome of the day. If the wind is strong then there can be echelons and if we get rain on top of that, it can become an even more selective race. We need to be really sharp and ride well as a team to come into the finale in the best possible way and with numbers. If it comes down to a bunch kick then we will look to continue to build on things with our sprint group and go for it with Fabio as our finisher.”
