Team Picnic PostNL coach Roy Curvers: “We’re lining up for Circuit Franco-Belge with Pavel as our finisher if it comes down to a sprint. The challenging, undulating parcours will keep the race open all day, and it’s a profile where a rider like Bjorn could also anticipate the moves by joining big breakaways. With a strong and versatile team, we’ll be ready to adapt to the race situation, support Pavel, and make the most of every opportunity.”
