Team Picnic PostNL coach Albert Timmer: “Brugge-De Panne is a race where the wind often plays a decisive role, shaping the race into a battle of positioning and endurance. The flat parcours might suggest a straightforward sprint, but crosswinds can quickly turn it into an unpredictable and selective race. We’re heading into the race with a clear plan: Charlotte will be our finisher for the sprint. However, if the wind comes into play, we have a well-rounded and experienced team ready to navigate the echelons and adapt to the situation. It’s all about reading the race and making sure we’re in the right place at the right time.”
