After a disappointing Tour de France that saw Team DSM-Firmenich finish bottom of the pile in terms of prize money won, the team will look to bounce back at the Tour de Pologne and hope to do so with a lineup full of potential.
With the young, talented and highly-rated British duo of Oscar Onley and Max Poole as their GC hopes and the likes of Casper van Uden and Tobias Lund Andresen for the flatter, sprint stages, there is plenty of possibilities of a successful race for the team. 21-year-old Lorenzo Milesi and 23-year-old Sean Flynn round out the lineup with Patrick Bevin offering some experience.
“The group that arrives for the Tour de Pologne has already been together since almost the beginning of July at High Altitude Team Camp in Küthai, so everyone is really motivated to go and race together. In general, we will take the race day-by-day and look at each stage to get the maximum out of it," says Team DSM-Firmenich coach Pim Ligthart to the team's official website. "For the sprint stages, we have Casper as our finisher while with Max and Oscar as finishers we also have some options to look at the GC. Yet, as we are coming straight down from altitude we have to see where that goes and look for our options every day to play our cards well.”
Team DSM-Firmenich for the Tour de Pologne:
Oscar Onley, Max Poole, Patrick Bevin, Lorenzo Milesi, Sean Flynn, Casper van Uden and Tobias Lund Andresen.
