Team Picnic PostNL coach Phil West: “Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes promises to be a challenging week of racing, with a varied parcours that also includes a team time trial. We’re looking forward to that opportunity, as it gives us another chance to continue developing our technique and execution as a group. Beyond that, our focus will be on chasing stage results and looking for opportunities each day to be active and present in the race. We want to approach the week proactively, continue building as a team, and take valuable steps forward. As always, we’ll take it day by day and see where the opportunities arise.”
