Team Picnic PostNL coach Joey van Rhee: “Alpes Isère Tour is up next, and we’re heading into this demanding stage race with confidence and motivation. The parcours features plenty of climbing and altitude metres, which suits the strong group of climbers we’re bringing to the start line. Rather than focusing on a single GC finisher, we’re keeping our options open. We have multiple riders capable of delivering a strong overall result, and our goal is to stay active and involved from the very first kilometre. This race offers opportunities every day, and we want to make sure we’re part of the action throughout. With aggressive racing and smart execution, we’re ready to test ourselves in the mountains and continue building on our development process.”
