Team Picnic PostNL coach Bennie Lambregts: “We line up for Rund um Köln with the same clear ambition as last year: sprint for the win. While last year’s winner Casper won’t be on the start line, we’re lining up with Pavel Bittner as our finisher, ready to fight for another top result. Our team may be young, but it’s packed with talent and motivation. We believe we have the strength and unity to deliver Pavel into the final and go for back-to-back victories in this beautiful German classic.”
