Team Liv-Plantur makes it 2016 season debut early next month at the eighth Ladies Tour of Qatar. The team twice won the race with Kirsten Wild but this season is backing Sara Mustonen for sprint stages.
"With Sara we can go for stage results in the sprint," said coach Hans Timmermans. "Our training camp in Calpe, Spain, has gone very well and we are going to Qatar with confidence. In the stages with a risk of echelons we will have to race attentively and grab bonus seconds whenever possible. In this way we will explore our GC possibilities."
The first day of the four-stage race takes place on the same course to be used in October's World Championships with the riders covering 97km from Katara Culture Village to Qatar University on February 2. Stage 2, which takes the riders from Sheikh Faisal Museum to Al Khor Corniche, is the longest of race at 120km as stage 3 covers 112km from Al Zubarah Fort to Madinat Al Shamal with the fourth and final stage from Aspire Zone to Doha Corniche just 73km in length.
