Team Picnic PostNL coach Roy Curvers: “The UAE Tour serves up its traditional recipe: a mix of sprint stages, a time trial, and two summit finishes that will shape the GC battle. Oscar will lead our GC ambitions, so it’s up to us to keep him protected throughout the week. He’ll be hunting for stage results on the mountain finishes—opportunities that will naturally place him high in the overall standings. On the sprint stages, our focus will be on guiding Fabio into the perfect position to launch his sprint and fight for victory.”
