Preview:
120 riders will start the Ronde van Nederlands and race 6 stages for a total
distance of 890 kms. Last year's winner Rolf Sörensen has not been in great
form lately but is aiming to repeat his success. The organisers have tried to
assemble as good a field as possible given the declining attractiveness of the
race in recent years. They have succeeded in getting 27 riders who are in the
top 100 on the UCI rankings. The favourites are probably Belgian Tom Steels,
Johan Museeuw, Peter Van Petegem or George Hincapie. German Jan Ullrich is also
using the race as a stepping stone to the Vuelta. The French team Crédit Agricole
will be strong with Australian Stuart O'Grady and French sprinter Frédéric
Moncassin aiming for success. La Française des Jeux have made Jimmy Casper, who
has been in great form recently, their top rider for the Ronde.
