Team Picnic PostNL coach Roy Curvers: “Ronde van Vlaanderen is one of the most iconic and demanding races of the spring, where the race naturally selects the strongest riders. It’s a day where you have to be fully committed from the start, and we want to race with that mindset: being involved and present throughout the entire race. Teamwork will play a crucial role, especially in positioning ourselves well ahead of the decisive moments. Being in the right place at the right time can make all the difference on a course like this. Our aim is to anticipate the key phases of the race, stay proactive, and make sure we are part of the action when it really matters. From there, it will be about giving everything all the way to Oudenaarde and making the most of the opportunities that come our way to achieve the best possible result.”
