Although the 2024 Paris Olympic Games may now be in the rear-view mirror, some of the peloton's top riders will soon be riding in the colours of their nation once again when a European Championship jersey is on the line in Limburg, Belgium.
One of the favoured teams to take the title will no doubt be the Netherlands as the team head across the border led by the superstar duo of the current Rainbow Jersey holder Mathieu van der Poel and Team Visma | Lease a Bike sprinter, Olav Kooij.
“The course of the 220-kilometre road race is diverse, with a city circuit, but also passages where the race could be made hard on the cobblestones and in the hills. With Olav and Mathieu as leaders of this group, we can respond to various scenarios,” analyses Dutch national coach Koos Moerenhout in explaining his choices.
The strength of the team isn't merely in the leaders either as in support of the aforementioned Van der Poel - Kooij duo will be a strong roster of riders. The likes of Danny van Poppel, Mike Teunissen, Mick van Dijke, Daan Hoole, Oscar Riesbeek and Pascal Eenkhoorn completing the roster.
In the time-trial too there will be a jersey to be won. For this discipline, the Dutch opt for Thymen Arensman and Daan Hoole.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
