Team Picnic PostNL. coach Albert Timmer: “Nokere Koerse is a race that always delivers dynamic and unpredictable racing. With a mix of cobbled sectors, short climbs, and a fast, technical finish, positioning and race craft are key to success. We’re lining up with a young squad, and our focus will be on performing the basics well. If we get that right, we can be in the mix deep into the final. Josie and Silje are both strong finishers, and with the rest of the team, we aim to be active and race aggressively. It’s all about learning, growing, and making the most of our opportunities.”
