Team Picnic PostNL coach Joey van Rhee: “After a year of absence, we’re thrilled to be back at the Giro Next Gen, one of our biggest goals of the season. It’s a long and demanding race, but we’re coming in well-prepared and highly motivated. Part of our line-up recently raced Alpes Isère Tour, where we delivered a strong collective performance and raced aggressively from day one. That same mindset will guide us in the Giro: to be present in the race every day and to take our chances wherever possible. With Jacob, Oliver, and Matteo, we have multiple riders capable of a strong GC, and we’ll do everything we can to fight for a top result throughout the week.”
