During the upcoming weeks we will be riding four Belgium one-day races. Next week, the World Championships in Yorkshire will start. On Sunday, the first races will take place where some of our riders will participate. The first race coming up is the Team Time Trial Mixed Relay.

Sports director Frans Maassen: “The first of the four Belgian one-day races is the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen. Last year, Dylan Groenewegen took the victory and we will try to repeat this result. The next day, we will race in the Primus Classic. We will try to sprint again with Dylan. The profile is hilly and lots of riders who will participate in the World Championships are also up there. I think it will be an tough race. On Sunday, the Gooikse Pijl is on the program. On Wednesday, we will be start the Ronde van het Houtland.”

On Sunday 22 September, the World Champions in Yorkshire will start with the Team Trial Mixed Relay. Among the participants of this new discipline are our Primoz Roglic, Tony Martin, Koen Bouwman and Jos van Emden. Bouwman was part of the Dutch team who took the win in August. Roglic, Van Emden and Martin are on the entry of the individual time trial as well. Pascal Eenkhoorn is part of the Dutch squad for the U23 race.

Some of our riders are going to race the Men Elite Road Race. Mike Teunissen and Jos van Emden are part of the Dutch team, Roglic will represent Slovenia, George Bennett New-Zealand, Neilson Powless the United States and Amund Jansen will represent Norway.
