Marijn’s older brother, Lars van den Berg, already rode two Grand Tours, namely the Tour de France and the Giro. Lars gave his brother some advice for his first Grand Tour. “Of course he is a completely different type of rider, but he has said that nutrition is really everything. As soon as you start neglecting that, things go in the wrong direction. He gave me various tips about that. But in the race itself I know how I have to deal with that,” laughs Marijn.
