Team Picnic PostNL coach Albert Timmer: “Omloop Het Nieuwsblad is the first big test of the Classics season, a race where chaos, tough terrain, and relentless racing always bring the strongest riders to the forefront. We’re ready to take on the challenge, aiming to be in the mix with Pfeiffer, Megan, and Franziska in the final. With the different strengths within our team, we have multiple options to race aggressively and shape the race to our advantage. Supporting them, we have Mara, Elise, and Francesca who form a strong block. Everything is geared toward reaching the final in the best possible way and from there we hope to be in position to race for a good result.”
