Coach Joey van Rhee: “Classique Dunkerque is a long and demanding race in the north of France, serving as the perfect lead-in to the 4 Jours de Dunkerque. We head to the start with Pavel as our designated finisher, giving us a strong option for the finale. The finishing circuit is an interesting one, with the slight uphill drag to the line potentially making things more selective. The weather conditions and the way other teams approach the race will likely shape how the day unfolds, so we’ll need to stay attentive and be ready to adapt to different race situations.”
