Bas Tietema back to competition and eyeing Dutch national championships
Cycling
Dutch Youtuber and pro cyclist Bas Tietema has been a frequent appearance on the news early in the season due to his popularity and ambition to ride the cobbled classics with Bingoal Pauwels Sauces WB, and now he's preparing for the second half of the season.
Tietema, 27, has made a series on his preparation and riding at Paris-Roubaix where he finished the race outside the time limit, however a big achievement for the Dutchman who only got a pro contract at the beginning of February.
After a resting period, he has returned to competition at the Veenendaal-Veenendaal Classic where he DNF, and will race at tomorrow's Elfstedenronde Brugge. He will be participating in the national championships that will take place over the VAM-berg, before focusing on future goals with the Belgian team.

- No but they spent a fortune on a cookie to predict the unpredictable. So much for tech and data and experts. Always useful in the service of opaque agendas.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Pog doesn’t do xc, might never try and has admitted he’d have no chance against MVDP in this. Shame really because I’m sure quite a few fans would enjoy watching him try and it would complicate the discussion of who is more complete which almost completely ignores off-road talent. Anyway, merr Xmas to all, keep next season in mind as you let go at the table the next days ;-)Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- i don’t know about it being a “nightmare” for mathieu, but he did lose. flanders is a similar nightmare i suppose for almost anyone who gets dropped on the paterberg at the end. very hard to chase back.OCexile24-12-2024
- yeah, i’m not sure you can say that van der poel was so dominant in the spring “because van aert wasn’t there.” who knows how wout would have farted against mathieu in those races, because HE WASN’T THERE. wout has never beaten mvdp in any cobbled monument, but maybe he would have IF HE’D BEEN THERE. maybe, just like mads, et al, he’d have gotten smoked. we’ll never know, BECAUSE…OCexile24-12-2024
- You are dreaming. MvdP has won Flanders 3 times and come second twice, once against the Pog in a very close race. He has convincingly beaten the Pog directly in MSR twice as well.Velovibes24-12-2024
- USA Cycling is just such a good institution! ...And they wonder why I don't do their races anymore!acem8224-12-2024
- MvdP is just afraid losing Pogi on his sight. Since 2023 Tour of Flanders is a nightmare for him when he dropped.
James2631823-12-2024 - The only handicap for Pogi is heat in the Tour de France but it seems resolved drastically this year and it seems destined to take more glory to his unmatched palmares in years.James2631823-12-2024
