Having notched several top-ten results across the season, 24-year-old 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Moreno Hofland will be aiming for his first win of the season off the back of raci🐎ng the Giro d'Italia.
"I think that Moreno Hofland might have a chance to sprint in two of the stages," sports director Merijn Zeeman said. "Besides that, we are taking two aggressive riders 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mike Teunissen and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Martijn Keizer. We 🐬will analyse their chances each day. The organiser programmed hard final days, when the big🦩 guns should show off."
With the tough parcours, Zeeman explained he is looking to see his riders fight for position and show themse🧜lves at the important moments of the🏅 Tour de France warm up race.
"The race passes very tough climbs, which are new to some of the riders," Zeeman said. "They have to make sure that they survive them. The TV-spectators won't see thatꩲ fight, but in those moments, young professionals take important steps in their careers. Our riders will have their chances."
Finalising his ambitions for the Dauphine, Zeeman added that he is expecting the younger riders to a𓆉nimate the breakaways and help position Hofland in the finale of the sprint stages.
"They must ride aggressively to become stronger🀅. They can do that by being part of the breakaway or by working well in the final part of a stage," he said.
