Team Picnic PostNL coach Phil West: “Milano-Torino is a race that reinvents itself year after year. Sometimes it’s one for the sprinters, other times the climbers take centre stage, but this edition features a hilltop finish. With a mostly flat run-in before a highly explosive final 30 kilometres, it promises to be a spicy one. For us, the key will be how we function as a team throughout the race. Energy management is crucial, and we want to arrive late into the final with as much firepower as possible. If we can position Kevin, Juan, and Bjoern well going into those decisive climbs, we can give Kevin the chance to really race. Above all, our biggest focus will be executing our plan as a unit, building into the race step by step. We’re excited for the challenge ahead!”
