The German one-day race Sparkassen Münsterland Giro will take place Saturday on a 190km course from Ibbenbüren to Münster. It is an important home race for the German-licensed Team Giant-Alpecin.  
 
Coach Rudi Kemna explained: “The Münsterland Giro is a race that often ends in a bunch sprint. On Sunday a lot of teams will be interested in a sprint, and we will be among them.
 
“With Nikias, Luka and Ramon we have a strong team for the sprint, with different options. Marcel aims to end his season in a good way, and we will have to wait and see how he feels during the race. I expect a great race with hopefully a nice sprint.”
