"The previous editions of the Tour of Chongming Island have essentially been sprint races and that's what I expect again this year. We have a well-balanced team for these stages with flexibility to go for the sprints and also with the breakaways," said director Dirk Reuling.
"The goal is to work as a team and target a stage victory, which should be within reach after our good performances in Borsele and Yorkshire. On top of that, we will explore the opportunities in the general classification with Leah."
Team Liv-Plantur for Tour of Chongming Island: Leah Kirchmann, Riejanne Markus, Sara Mustonen, Rozanne Slik, Julia Soek and Kyara Stijns.
