Team Picnic PostNL coach Roy Curvers: “Omloop van het Houtland is a traditional Belgian autumn race where the weather often dictates how the day unfolds. In calm conditions it typically ends in a bunch sprint, but heavy winds or rain can tip the balance toward the attackers. We bring a solid and motivated team ready to be active in any moves, and with Casper at the start we also have a strong option if the race comes down to a sprint.”
