Further to the announcement of T-Mobile's roster of riders for La Flèche Wallonne, team manager Walter Godefroot said the Belgian mid-week classic is a race often underestimated, with the team choosing to adopt an offensive race strategy going into today's event.
"The Flèche is often underestimated, on account of its distance. The tempo is always high in this race, and you always need your wits about you to prevent anyone jumping clear," said Godefroot on the team's website, www.t-mobile-team.com. Added directeur sportif Mario Kummer: "The last races have shown that things go better for us when we ride offensively," he said.
