Team DSM coach Kelvin Dekker: “This is a race that is completely brutal in terms of the parcours, 40% of the course is on gravel or cobbles which really adds some extra spice to the race. The course will do its job our role is to be there from the first moment. This is a race where you want to be in control and not on the back foot. We have a very strong line-up here and now it is up to us to bring everyone in the right position to fight for the victory.”
