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.

- Arno Wallaard Memorial (15/04)
- Amstel Gold Race (16/04)

- Cycling is dying. That's obvious. All you have to do is look at the huge hits the major bike component companies are taking year over year. Then there's the loss of outlets providing coverage and the costs of streaming with those that remain. Add to that the effects of E-bikes on the younger generations. Now figure that it's a sponsor based sport instead of viewer based sport.Sweep18-12-2024
