Team Picnic PostNL coach Joey van Rhee: “Ster van Zwolle is the opening race of the Dutch Continental circuit and is always a hectic start to the season. This year, the course has been adjusted with more narrow farm roads, which should make the race even more selective and attractive. Our riders need to be ready from kilometre zero and fight for position right from the start. For part of the group, this will be their first real classic after the junior ranks, which also means learning how to handle situations like echelons if the wind comes into play. We’re looking forward to the race and believe we have multiple cards to play depending on how it unfolds.”
