Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Joey van Rhee: “At Veenendaal – Veenendaal we have one of our next mixed races with some of our Men’s program and Development program riders teaming up together. For the Development program guys it is a nice race where they can learn from those in the Men’s program and gain valuable experience. The race itself consists of five laps of a 34-kilometre loop, that features two climbs on each lap. Our first goal is to get into the race in a good way, and then go from there. The previous editions have always ended in a bunch sprint so with Emils in the line-up, we will fully support him as our finisher to get the best result possible.”
