Team Picnic PostNL coach Callum Ferguson: “Omloop Nieuwsblad marks the official opening weekend of the Classics season, and we’re looking to build on what has already been a strong start to the year. Josie showed really good form in Australia, and we’ll aim to protect her and guide her safely through the key points of the race so she can be in position heading into the final. It’s also great to have Mara back in the line-up after her long-term injury. That’s something we’re really excited about as a team.”
