Holland Ladies Tour to go ahead, despite no sponsor
 |
The sixth edition of the Holland Ladies Tour will take place between September 1-6 over seven stages. However the withdrawal of main sponsor Formido after last year's tour has left the race with no cash sponsor this year. "For this year the lack of a main sponsor is not a problem, but that will not be the case a second time," organiser Wim van Duivenbode told ANP. "We hope to have a new sponsor next year, or to make things up with a number of smaller sponsors. At the end of this year it has to be certain."
The race will start in Kampen on September 1 with a 118 kilometre stage via Zwolle, Lemelerveld, Raalte, Wijhe, Zwolle, finishing again in Kampen. The second day is a split day with an 88 kilometre stage in the morning in Biddinghuizen followed by a 23.3 kilometre team time trial in the afternoon, also in Biddinghuizen. The next four stages are all between 113 and 130 kilometres, starting in Leende, Haaften, Heerland and Zoeterwoude, with the final stage ending in Lisse.
The Holland Ladies Tour expects to have top riders such as defending champion Debby Mansveld (Vlaanderen-T Interim), Susanne Ljungskog, Anita Valen and Sara Carrigan (Powerplate-Bik), Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel and Mirjam Melchers (Farm Frites-Hartol), Nicole Cooke and Rochelle Gilmore (Ausra Gruodis), Margaret Hemsley and Trixi Worrack (Nürnberger) along with riders from several national teams.
