UAE-Team Emirates is ready to tackle three races in Belgium. The races will take the riders through typical parcours that are suitable for strong and fast classic riders.
The 1.1 races are Dwars door het Hageland, Heylen Vastgoed Heistse Pijl and Elfstedenronde. The team will be headlined by the local rider Jasper Philipsen, who will tackle them for the first time and gain some experience in them, at the same time of working to get the best result possible.
"I have never participated in these three races, but I know the roads well," Philipesen explained. "They are typical Belgian races, with hilly parcours and narrow, technical sections.
"They will suit the fast finishers and also the riders who go well on this type of terrain. I am really motivated, racing on the roads of Belgium is always special for me and I hope to be in the mix to fight for good results."
