>Sports director Mario Aerts explains: “Jarno is a winner, and that is the mindset he takes with him to Monaco. We are aiming for a stage win. At the same time, he– and we as a team– could already be very proud if he manages to finish in the top five over the next three weeks. We deliberately don’t want to set a specific GC target. This is Widar’s very first Grand Tour. He has never raced for more than eight consecutive days before, so there is still a lot for him to learn. He needs to discover how his body responds to three weeks of racing and how he recovers from one stage to the next. The most important thing is that he gains experience, without pressure. We will take the Vuelta day by day and see where that takes us.”
No pressure but we expect a stage win and a top 5 in your first grand tour.
