Preview

At the last moment, the Ronde van Nederland (Tour of Holland) managed to find a sponsor (HUBO) this year. Chairman Paul Nouwen said that "It wasn't easy to find a sponsor for the 40th edition. We had a lot of competition with events like Euro 2000 (Soccer European Championships) and Sail (a fleet of old sailing ships in Amsterdam with an audience of 2.5 million). I thought last year - after six years of sponsorship from Visa Card - it should be easy to find a new one. We will have to look for a sponsorship for a longer time period though after the coming Ronde."

The budget for this Tour is 2 million Dutch guilders (900,000 Euro). 14 teams will start, although more teams were asked and there will be 112 riders. As it is the 40th edition, the UCI gave permission to upgrade the Tour with a prologue. "A one-time present from Lausanne," said Nouwen
