Hel van het Mergelland - Cat. 1.5Netherlands, April 8, 20001999 results Teams Results Past Winners PreviewThis category 1.5 Dutch race scheduled for April 8 originally started as a training race for juniors, espoirs, and women. In cooperation with Frans Maassen, the Rabobank junior team manager, the organisers have gone for a new concept in 2001: a juniors race in the morning, followed by an afternoon race for espoirs. This year, however the Hel van het Mergelland will be run in the "old style": 181 km, 28 climbs, a total of 35.8 kilometres of climbing.
