Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Kelvin Dekker: “This race is the first of the season for quite a few riders on our line-up and we bring an exciting team. The route looks challenging and we look forward to creating chances for ourselves each day. We have Juliette as our GC finisher but we’re excited to see what we can get out of every stage too. As it’s also the first race with this group of climbers, we’re also looking to get back into the racing rhythm and shape our way of riding together as a group through some good teamwork.”
