Team Picnic PostNL coach Phil West: “The Tour of Oman features two sprint stages for Pavel and two key climbing stages where we want to be at our best, with Kevin and Warren targeting the GC. Warren showed strong form here last year with sixth place overall, and we’re eager to build on that. It’s a race that can be unpredictable, with little control in the peloton, so teamwork will be essential. Staying sharp and racing smart will be key, and we’re looking forward to taking on the challenge together.”
