Team Picnic PostNL coach Roy Curvers: “Heistse Pijl is a race that often comes down to a bunch sprint, but the technical climb in the finale can make things more selective and means the outcome often depends on who has the legs on the day. Positioning and staying attentive throughout the race will be important to make sure we are in the right place when the race reaches its decisive moments. With riders like Niklas, John, and Nils, we have multiple cards to play depending on how the race unfolds, giving us the flexibility to adapt to different scenarios and fight for a strong result.”
