Team Picnic PostNL coach Bennie Lambregts: “Paris-Roubaix is one of the toughest and most iconic races on the calendar—and for the U23 peloton, it’s no different. The cobbled sectors demand not only strength and bike handling but also relentless teamwork and commitment from the very first kilometre. We’re approaching this race as one unit. To stay in the game and play our cards in the final, it’s essential to start the early sectors from the front, control the chaos, and reduce the risk of mechanicals—which are always a part of the Roubaix story. That means every rider has a role to play from the moment we hit the cobbles. The team is well-prepared after the recon and comes into this race highly motivated and ready for the battle. We’re excited to take it on together.”
