On Tuesday, CULT Energy Pro Cycling take on the Belgian stage race, Three Days of De Panne-Koksijde with four stages in three days. The first two stages are hilly and the wind is usually a crucial factor as well. Traditionally, it’s a messy race with multiple breakaways along the way and because of the undulating and physically demanding conditions, riders are crossing the finish line in smaller groups and not in a big peloton.
DS André Steensen says:
“I expect it will be a tough race where we’ll be up against the best classic riders in the final preparation for the Tour of Flanders, so the field will be strong and it will undoubtedly make the competition fierce. We enter the race to prepare for the important month of April and we’ll seize the opportunity of fine-tuning the form. We will try to grab the chances at hand and show that despite our role as "under-dogs", we’re going out with a fighting spirit and energy to participate in breakaways and get results where we can. Hopefully with Rasmus Quaade on the final stage.”
CULT Energy Pro Cycling’s line-up:
Rasmus Quaade, Martin Mortensen, Russell Downing, Mads Pedersen, Troels Vinther and Michael Reihs.
