Team DSM coach Roy Curvers: “With Saudi Tour, we have a nice dessert trip around the corner. We will use this race as a season kick-off for riders that will focus mainly on classics and sprints. For them, this is an ideal race with a few sprint opportunities next to some finals on more hilly terrain, and as always danger for echelons on the open desert roads. Our main focus will be setting the tone in excellent teamwork in the hunt for day results”
