For those who had been questioning why such a change was wanted…
It is undoubtedly taken some creativity from the organisers to maintain this race going at the moment.
You could have been anticipating cobbles in Ronde van Drenthe too, however all 9 of these have been taken out.
That call was made on Friday, with the snow already posing a threat to street security.
We’ve not received an up to date map, however the race will begin on the VAM-berg, and end on the unique end in Hoogeveen.
The course change is fairly important, because the peloton will now deal with the VAM-berg six instances in 94km, fairly than 3 times in 152.7km.
Because of the snow and dangerous climate that noticed yesterday’s Drentse Acht van Westerveld cancelled, there are some alterations to at the moment’s Ronde van Drenthe.
The route has been modified to 6 laps of a circuit, and the race will begin an hour later at 14.00 CET – hopefully giving a while for the worst of the snow to soften.
Welcome to Cyclingnews’ stay protection of Ronde van Drenthe!
I am Matilda and I will be right here to take you thru the motion from the Netherlands – it is a shorter day however that should not reduce down the thrill.
