Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Albert Timmer: “This year’s La Vuelta España Femenina will feature some opportunities for all types of riders in the peloton and is extended by one day compared to last year. Starting with a TTT, the first half will have some opportunities for sprinters and puncheurs, while the second half will be decisive for the GC battle. Like last year, we have the same goals for the race. We will focus on riding well as a team and go for the best GC result possible with Juliette as our finisher. Next to this, we will also bring a very capable lead-out group and aim to bring Charlotte into a prime position for the sprint finales.”
