Team Picnic PostNL coach Asbjørn Kragh Andersen: “We line up for this beautiful stage race in France, known for its diversity of terrain: from very demanding mountain stages to punchy profiles and even one stage that looks set for a sprint finish. Our main goal is to race as a strong and united team, and building from that aim for a strong GC result with Eleonora as our overall finisher. We’ll approach the race day by day, staying alert for opportunities to join key breakaways and gain time or an advantage before the bigger mountain stages later in the week.”
