Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Joey van Rhee: “For Tour Alsace, we have a mixed team with some of our younger and older guys in the U23 category. It’s a hard race with quite some altitude meters, especially in the middle three stages during the week. We will look for breakaways but also have an eye on GC with Oliver as our finisher. The final stage will be totally flat, and we will go all-in for Johan and set him up for the expected bunch sprint finish. We are looking forward to the week after a small break from racing for these guys.”
