Men's Ronde van Drenthe cancelled in 2024 due to financial and security problems

The men's Ronde van Drenthe will be removed from the calendar in 2024. The organization announced this in a press release. The reason for canceling next year's edition is a combination of factors, mainly related to the financial aspect. The women's race will continue for the time being.
"Due to rising costs, increasing regulatory pressure and safety problems, the organization of the Ronde van Drenthe has decided to cancel the 2024 edition," the statement reads. The time pressure to arrange all aspects properly before 2024 has now become too high. For example, the organization had problems with permit applications and arranging hotels, which left all kinds of employees in uncertainty. That has now been put to an end.
"Inflation plays a major role," the organization points to the money problem as the first factor for the cancellation. "The financial contribution for UCI and KNWU has increased significantly. These are matters over which the organization simply has no influence," they refer to rising prices for fuel, accommodation and insurance as examples.
This means that another beautiful Dutch cycling race will disappear from the calendar, at least for the time being. It was previously announced that due to a lack of police capacity, competitions in the north Netherlands can no longer be organized for the time being. In recent years, for example, the Slag om Norg and the Noordwijk Classic have disappeared from the calendar.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
