Welcome to our March newsletter! It has been another busy but successful month of racing across our three programs. In our rider diary, Vlad van Mechelen looked back on his first months with the Development program, and with the Queen of the Classics fast approaching, you can learn more about the challenges for our material at the cobbled classics, especially Paris-Roubaix.

After a successful season start for all three of our programs further afield, we were back racing across Europe in March.

Relive or catch up with our March racing recap, which saw success for all three programs with wins in the Netherlands and Belgium, but also more good team performances and aggressive racing all across Europe.

Paris-Roubaix is called the “Queen of the Classics“ for a reason. The 54.5 kilometres of rough cobble sections make it one of the most demanding race days of the year. But what does that mean for the vehicles in and around the race?

Ahead of this year's edition of the “Hell of the North“, we spoke to Team DSM's Warehouse Manager Yannick Runhart and Mechanic Maarten ter Heiden about the challenges of that race and why our Volvo V60 cross country is the perfect choice to deal with them.
