In something of an upset, 38-year-old Jos van Emden has taken his third victory at the Dutch National Championship in the individual time-trial.
Previously a champion in both 2010 and 2019, not many were expecting the Jumbo-Visma rider to make it a hatrick in 2023 but that is exactly what has happened.
Edging out the likes of Daan Hoole and Sjoerd Bax, van Emden was victorious by 18 seconds. Many of the pre-race favourites including Thymen Arensman, Wilco Kelderman and Bauke Mollema will be disappointed with their efforts.
Arensman eventually lost 2:26 to van Emden. After Kelderman stranded more than a minute from the experienced time trial specialist. Mollema couldn't go any faster either. He ended up in fifth place.

- He's on the downward side of his career. But he has had a spectacular one. It's a lot like how Sagan just faded in the end.

- Vamos Chavito! I like this "kid-cyclist" so much.
maria2024202430-05-2025 - MisterMauMau: Yes, for sure you're right, Mr. Flecha is not the unique biased commentator, but the article talk about him. Moreover, I watch cycling races with "ambient sound", I like the sensation of being there (racers chats, public, wheels, brakes...) and I don't like being influenced by journalists, commentators and so long.maria2024202430-05-2025
- I agree. Jonas is TdF or bust, and that's boring especially when your chief competitor lines up for every race known to man. Tadej has gone on record saying he wants to win other races more than another Tour at this point of his career.Chazz2030-05-2025
- Visma is so unlikeable. I feel like these comments were classless. I've heard nothing but admiration from UAE/Tadej as it relates to Jonas. It's a shame because I love Wout and Matteo but you just can't root for this lab project of a team. Also, I don't think Visma's team is nearly as strong as the '22 and '23 teams. I think what Wout did in the mountains in '22 was honestly more impressive than what Jonas was able to do. Wout was simply on another level and the collective team had Tadej isolated way too often. I don't expect that will happen again. Hell, UAE needs to bring Del Torro at this point who could neutralize attacks from Jorgenson. Visma would like to pretend that Tour is one extended time trail, going solo up long mountain climbs but it isn't. Jonas may have great numbers in a lab but without the best team, he is just a great climber, and that won't be enough to beat Tadej in the actual race.Chazz2030-05-2025
