The 4th edition of the Dutch UCI qualifier in the Drenthe province has had already a few different start and finish locations and will this year be organised from Roden where the event was also held in 2023.
2400 riders have registered, coming from 26 different countries. Most categories battle on a 150km course while the older categories have a shorter 80km variant to qualify for the World Championships.
Amongst the favorites we see Tobias Kongstad, Jasper Ockeloen, Ivar Slik, Laurens Sweeck and Joris Nieuwenhuis in the men elite while Rosa Klöser, Tessa Neefjes, Marielle Trouwborst, Femke Markus and Annemarie Worst will all hit the pedals hard to win in the women elite category on the dusty flat roads in the north of the Netherlands.
