Tour Alsace
JUL 27 - 31
Boris Zimine - Team DSM coach
"The Tour d'Alsace is a race which takes place over five days following in the Alsace region, and is one that suits the all-rounders. The riders will take on a nice mix between long climbs, explosive climbs and some sprint stages. The race begins with a team time trial with the teams being split into two groups, which will be a good experience for the riders. After taking seventh in GC at the Baby Giro, Hannes will be a good option and finisher for us in the GC and mountains stages. While Casper will be our sprint finisher and we have a really good and strong team to help execute our plans on each stage. We are looking forward to an offensive race."

Donostia San Sebastian Klasikoa
JUL 30
Marcel Sieberg - Team DSM coach
"The race around San Sebastian is a classic part of the calendar after the Tour de France. It is always a hard race with a 225 kilometre route, which includes more than 3500 altitude metres and a steep final climb. We have a strong team on the start line, with Romain coming in good shape from the Tour de France as our main finisher. With the group we have at the race we're looking to ride well as a unit, look after each other throughout the race and play our cards well, and aim for a nice result at the end of the day."
Line-up
Søren Kragh Andersen (DEN)
Romain Bardet (FRA)
Romain Combaud (FRA)
