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.

- We are about 50/50 in America. We've never had an authoritarian leader and never will, at least in my lifetime.awp16-05-2025
- The freedom argument is soooo pathetic, and is constantly destroyed by those who scream loudest for it, those who fight for their right to say what they want but stop others doing the same.Mistermaumau16-05-2025
- Agree although that was a different story. Maybe disc brakes should be banned on rainy days?Mistermaumau16-05-2025
- Only a right wing American could look at America and say "America is NOT right wing at all". Americans yip about freedom but a large percentage actually yearn for an authoritarian leader to tell them what to do and what to think.mobk16-05-2025

KerisVroom16-05-2025 - America is NOT right wing at all. I guess it does depend on where you live though. Most people in America just mind their business, raise their family, work, pay their bills and move along through life. I live all over the board. I have a home in a suburb of NYC, a beach house in Clearwater FL, and a ranch in Texas, near Houston. I don't see these differences in Americans so much, sure, people like this maniac, verve825, are all over the place on boths sides but they rarely enter my life.awp16-05-2025
- Saronni is right. Riders have to do their part. What happened in this year's Tour de Rwanda last stage, with the yellow jersey Doubey forcing the cancellation of the race, was pretty bad.heinz16-05-2025
- As I alluded to early on this year, it seems mire and more obvions Wout is paying the price all of having tried to return to form too fast. He should never have trained to perform for the cyclocross WC, he’s been playing catch-up ever since. It’s like the macro version of trying to perform in a race after having gone into the red. Not blaming him, he’s obviously under far too much unhealthy outside pressure, that’s why I admire Jonas’ refusal to racing what others try to tell him to do. Look at how they treat Wout when he tries but fails to please, sad bunch of parasites.Mistermaumau16-05-2025
