Team DSM coach Christian Guiberteau: “The Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var is characterised by a very demanding profile, as the route is always up and down during the three days. The team’s goal will be to be vigilant and aggressive from the start of the race, as we look to go for a result in a race where good team spirit will be the key to success. We will look after Romain as our protected rider to go for stage results and see day by day, where our chances for the GC are.”
