Preview

This race is the fourth round in the Dutch Topcompetitie, consisting of 9 events held throughout the year. Almost 50 years old, the parcours involves 14 climbs, starting and finishing in Rijssel, the middle eastern area of the Netherlands.

Only one non-Dutch rider has won the race in its 49 year history, Dane Tayeb Braika in 1998. This year will probably be no different with most of the 'foreigners' competing in the Tour de Romandie, the Peace Race, or the Four Days of Dunkirk, while the second and third division Dutch teams stay at home to contest this race.
