SD Worx is going at full strength to the upcoming
Tour de France Femmes. The Dutch team has the top favorite for the overall victory with
Demi Vollering, but is also counting on sprinter
Lorena Wiebes and breakaways with
Marlen Reusser and
Lotte Kopecky.
"We have opted for a group that is complementary and that has the qualities to create race situations," sports director Danny Stam looks ahead to the French grand tour in a press release. "That is no guarantee that you can just bend the Tour to your will. I recently explored the course and came to the conclusion that it is a tough course with some stages that are really tough."
