Team Picnic PostNL coach Bennie Lambregts: “This is a true Dutch polder classic, featuring a varied course with sections along dykes and the typical exposed roads of the lowlands. The wind will be the key factor: strong winds could turn it into a tough echelon battle, while calmer conditions might lead to a more controlled race and a bunch sprint. We bring a well-balanced and motivated squad ready for both scenarios. Solid teamwork will be essential to deliver a top result, and the riders are eager to make their mark on this classic.”
