Team Picnic PostNL coach Bennie Lambregts: “This beautiful stage race offers a valuable learning opportunity for our Development program. With a mix of terrain — a team time trial prologue, a sprint stage, and two demanding mountain finishes — it challenges our riders across multiple disciplines. The race kicks off with a unique 4.3 kilometres team time trial, where teams are split into groups of three, putting communication and coordination to the test right from the start. Our focus throughout the week will be on strong teamwork: in the prologue, in the fast stages, and in the climbs. We’re bringing a well-rounded squad to the start line, and we believe they can deliver a solid performance across all types of stages.”
