Team Picnic PostNL coach Christian Guiberteau: “Faun Drome Classic offers another tough test in France, with a course that suits explosive climbers who thrive on repeated short, steep ascents. Unlike Faun Ardèche Classic, this race finishes uphill, making it a true test of legs after a long and aggressive day. Once again, we’ll be looking to race on the front foot, using our strong and versatile squad to create opportunities. Like in Ardèche, we will set up Warren and Kevin for the finale, while Romain [Bardet] has the chance to go for it too as he continues to recover from his crash in Portugal. We’ll look to play our cards smartly to get the best possible result. With a strong team ready to fight, we’re aiming to play a big role in this race.”
