Dutch cycling races at risk following restrictions on policing
CyclingSaturday, 01 April 2023 at 19:03
Problems for cycling in one of the most traditional countries emerge. The Dutch Cycling Federation is more than worried about the future of many of the races held in the country due to the lack of motorized police officers to control the events. The Dutch National Police has cancelled the use of motorcycle officers to control traffic at cycling races.
This decision by the police puts the organization of cycling races in check, which will more than likely lead to a change of date and the cancellation of many races (especially below WorldTour level). Although it doesn't have the presence in the top of the calendar of neighbor countries, Amstel Gold Race takes place in the country - and the BinkBank Tour does as well frequently. A cycling nation, it has the potential of becoming a very complicated situation.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off.

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
