After giving up on Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Sebastian Langeveld will travel to United States in order to test Richmond Worlds course. The Cannondale Garmin rider, with his coach Johan Lamets, will focus on the cobblestone section.

"It was actually supposed to be Niki Terpstra and Lars Boom who would go," he told telesport.nl. "But it's not easy to squeeze a trip to America into our busy schedules. Still, I think it's important to ride the course myself, because often you hear a variety of opinions."
