We are entering the end of the season, and I am motivated to end it on a high note. I came great out of the Tour de France Femmes and the Classic Lorient Agglom\u00e9ration, so I feel like I can be confident my shape is there. We have a super strong climbing team going to this race and with this challenging course we can do good things.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Wim Stroetinga (Sport director):<\/span><\/strong><br><em>\u201cWe are going to the Tour de Romandie with a really strong and motivated group of riders. They are all in good shape and ready to go for a stage win, where we have different options. All the riders have a chance in a breakaway and we have Ingvild for a stage win in stages 1 and 3 if it\u2019s a reduced bunch sprint. For stage 2 we have a strong squad of climbers, and we will use our numbers of strong climbers in this stage to get the best possible result.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Overall, there are big opportunities for all the riders to have a win in a stage and the GC will come with it.
