He will be joined by
Sepp Kuss who did not manage to race the Tour de France because of a Covid-19 infection that damaged his preparation, but has returned to racing this week and is on track to winning the Vuelta a Burgos after winning the queen stage. Taking into consideration that the classic takes place the exact day after, he may not be at his freshest level however.
It is a strong lineup for the Dutch team that also features
Wilco Kelderman as a strong support rider for the difficult climbs;
Dylan van Baarle and
Julien Vermote who are on track for the Vuelta a España as well; whilst
Thomas Gloag and
Milan Vader complete the lineup.
