Team Picnic PostNL coach Pim Ligthart: “It’s time for one of the most iconic and demanding races of the spring, where only the strongest riders remain in contention. This is not a race to sit back and wait—we want to be part of the action from start to finish. Teamwork will be crucial, as making the right decisions at the key moments can make all the difference. Our goal is to be present ahead of the important phases of the race, so that we are in the right place when the race truly comes to life. From there, we will then give it our all on the way to Oudenaarde to come away with the best result possible.”
