Laurent Pichon: “an air of flandrienne”.

“Nokere Koerse is a race for sprinters. It’s a beautiful competition that also features cobbled sections and, as is often the case in Belgium, takes in small roads, which can make for a nervous race. There can be a lot of movement, and victory can come down to a sprint in a small group. A few weeks ago, we had a good dynamic on this type of competition, and we need to continue in this direction. The ARKEA-B&B HOTELS collective is strong, and we can really work for the riders who have a good chance of shining in this race.
