Michael Schär: "Making a contribution
"The Strade Bianche is above all the most beautiful finish of the season. It's a magnificent race that I love. I'm in good shape and I hope to be able to contribute to a good performance for the team.
I'll follow this up with Tirreno-Adriatico where we will have a team capable of playing its card for the general classification with Geoffrey Bouchard and Bob Jungels but also to win stages with Greg Van Avermaet and Benoît Cosnefroy who both showed a good general form last weekend.
I look forward to helping them and continuing to make progress as we head into the rest of the classics season."[/su_quote]
