Team Picnic PostNL coach Albert Timmer: “Dwars door Vlaanderen is a beautiful race that offers a true test of both strength and race craft. With its mix of cobbled climbs, twisting roads, and a fast run-in to the finish, it’s a race that often rewards both aggressive racing and good positioning. We’re lining up with a relatively young team, focusing on executing the basics well and growing throughout the race. With Rachele and Josie, we have riders who are not only fast in the final but also capable of racing proactively. The key will be reading the race, making the right moves, and making the most of our opportunities.”
