The nominees have been announced for the latest Sports Gala organised by NOS and sports association NOC*NSF and notably for cycling fans, both Merijn Zeeman and Jumbo-Visma could be in line for prizes.
Jumbo-Visma were the dominant force in Grand Tour cycling this year, taking victory through Primoz Roglic at the Giro d'Italia, Jonas Vingegaard at the Tour de France and Sepp Kuss at the Vuelta a Espana, with both Vingegaard and Roglic completing the podium at that final Grand Tour of 2023. As such, they have recieved a nomination for Sports Team of the Year.
Zeeman meanwhile, sports director at Jumbo-Visma, was instrumental in the team's successes throughout 2023 and the Dutchman has been recognised for this by being among the final four nominations for Sports Coach of the Year.
His competitors are Laurent Meuwly (athletics coach of Femke Bol, among others), Eelco Meenhorst (national rowing coach) and Evangelos Doudesis (national women's water polo coach).

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
