Team Picnic PostNL coach Roy Curvers: “Ronde van Brugge is a race that can go in two directions: either shaped by the wind on the exposed roads of West Flanders or decided in a fast bunch sprint. That makes positioning and awareness crucial throughout the entire day, regardless of how the race unfolds. We line up with a well-balanced team that is prepared for both scenarios. If the wind plays a role, we want to be alert and present in the right moves, while in a more controlled race, we have strong options for the finish. With Pavel and Fabio, we bring two fast finishers, with Pavel already coming close to victory in recent weeks. Our goal will be to stay flexible as a team, read the race well, and put ourselves in the best possible position to fight for a strong result.”
