“Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var will be a demanding stage race that takes place over three days, where every stage sees the bunch faced with a lot of elevation gain. We go to the race with a young and motivated group of riders, including debuts for Marco, Henri and Kevin; alongside Michael and Martijn who bring the experience of racing at the highest level. Looking towards the parcours we hope to ride an aggressive race and focus on the learning processes, setting out to achieve good day results within the team.”

Luke Roberts – Team DSM coach
“Our main focus at UAE Tour will be on stage results, in particular the sprint stages, where there will likely be four opportunities for the fast men in the peloton. Cees will be our guy for the sprints and we have a solid train built around him with road captain Nikias using his experience to guide our sprint group. The race also contains a short TT and two mountain top finishes where our young climbers Thymen and Mark will be out to see how far they can go.”
