Team Giant-Shimano head into their biggest home race Amstel Gold Race with greater ambitions than ever before. With Simon Geschke, Tom Dumoulin and Dries Devenyns, the team targets a top 10 finish in the Dutch classic.
This Sunday sees the Ardennes classics start in earnest with the one-day race Amstel Gold Race in Limburg - arguably the cycling hub of the Netherlands.
The best result the team has taken here over the past few years is 18th - 2013, Simon Geschke - and after a strong few months of racing and with a team with different cards to play they have the tools they need to keep challenging their progression here.
The line-up for the race is: Roy Curvers (NED), Dries Devenyns (BEL), Tom Dumoulin (NED), Simon Geschke (GER), Thierry Hupond (FRA), Reinardt Janse van Rensburg (RSA), Koen De Kort (NED) and Albert Timmer (NED).
