ProTeam Jenno Berckmoes looks ahead to La Primavera

This Saturday, the team lines up with Huub Artz, Jenno Berckmoes, Lorenzo Rota, Jonas Rutsch, Liam Slock, Luca Van Boven and Georg Zimmermann. With a mix of experience and strength across different terrains, the squad is prepared for the many scenarios that can unfold over such a long day in the saddle. Seen the amount of kilometers of racing and the decisive moments expected on the Cipressa and Poggio, the team approaches the race with a clear plan: stay attentive, support each other, and be ready to take opportunities when they come.

For Jenno Berckmoes, Milano-Sanremo is a race that has been on his list for quite some time. After a solid week at Tirreno-Adriatico, where he could feel his shape improving, Jenno heads into the race weekend with confidence. “Tirreno-Adriatico has really done me well last week. I started the week off a bit ill but I luckily recovered quickly. I could really feel that my form was growing throughout the whole week of hard racing”, Berckmoes says.

In the build-up to La Primavera, Berckmoes stayed in Italy together with Georg Zimmermann to continue working towards the race and to prepare himself in the best possible way. “I spent past week together with Georg here in Italy to do some final recons and my form has really improved", he explains.

While he feels that his shape is progressing in the right direction, Berckmoes remains realistic about what lies ahead in such a demanding race. “I think that I am coming really close to my best shape, so of course I hope for a good result on Saturday. It’s a tough race and seen the line-up of other teams, it definitely won’t be easy. I just hope I can finish close this weekend with a great result”, he adds.
