Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Asbjørn Kragh Andersen: “Ronde de l’Oise is a nice four-day stage race which should have a bit of everything in it. The roads in the region aren’t mountainous but they aren’t pure flat either so we can expect lots of small climbs, narrow roads and even some crosswinds in the more exposed areas. Our focus will be on taking things day-by-day and really working on the basics of racing and getting them right in what is often a hectic race. It’s important for us to focus on that development from the guys and not necessarily day results. It’s also the last race for the Development program before a short break, so everyone is really motivated for it.”
