PREVIEW | ZLM Tour 2024 - Gerben Thijssen and Max Kanter look to take 4 bunch sprints to fight for GC
CyclingTuesday, 04 June 2024 at 20:22
The ZLM Tour is scheduled to take place from the 5th to the 9th of June this year. This Dutch race has gained popularity as a crucial preparation event leading up to the Tour de France, offering numerous opportunities for sprinters to vie for victories and hone their form before their main objective. Here's our preview of the upcoming race.
Stage 1 (ITT): Westkapelle - Westkapelle, 14.7 kilometers
The race starts off with a 14-7 kilometer time-trial in Westkapelle. It is a day that can prove crucial for the overall classification - having no sort of climbing, as the rest of the race.
Stage 2: Middelburg - Wissenkerke, 193.9 kilometers
The first set bunch sprint of the race. First of four. Stage 2 starts in Middelburg and finishes in Wissenkerke, 193 of pan-flat roads with a finale just at sea level.
Stage 3: Scijndel - Buchten, 178.8 kilometers
Stage 3 is not too different than the previous days. From Scijndel to Buchten the riders find 178 kilometers where preventing a bunch sprint would be very difficult.
Stage 4: Roosendaal - Roosendaal, 196.5 kilometers
If there is a day to make differences outside of the time-trial, then certainly this is it. Stage 4 is the longest day of the race with 196 kilometers on the menu, but it also features two passages of the 2-kilometer long Hogerwaardpolder cobbled sector. The last one ends with 73 kilometers to go however, before a finale in Roosendaal.
Stage 5: Oosterhout - Oosterhout, 159.6 kilometers
The final stage of the race is not too different than what the previous days have shown. Stage 5 starts and finishes in Oosterhout, finishing with a flat circuit that should lead to a final bunch sprint.
Prediction ZLM Tour 2024 overall classification:
*** Tim van Dijke, Gerben Thijssen
** Rune Herregodts, Max Kanter
* Tom Bohli, Simon Dehairs, Casper van Uden, Gleb Syritsa, Mike Teunissen,
Pick: Gerben Thijssen

- He would still be faster on the course riding his cyclocross bike than in his Lambo!Pogboom28-12-2024
- i love the spirit of any of these younger guys who will say out loud I WANT TO TRY TO FOLLOW MATHIEU. they know plenty well what that means. vanthourenhout, eli, lars and company have kinda been beaten into submission by years trying and failing to keep up with mvdp. i feel for them, seriously. but it’s great to see younger riders show up and take their turn, full of hope.OCexile28-12-2024
- The nice thing about World Tour cycling is it never goes the way you think it ill, haha. Tadej breaking away so far out in the Worlds? Remco doubling up in Paris?
ScottG27-12-2024 - Pretty classy comments by Jonas. Makes me like him even more.ScottG27-12-2024
- MVDP is simply a cross "machine" - amazing to watch.ScottG27-12-2024
- yes, Jonas said that he had lost a little muscle mass. In the other hand, also Tadej changed his physique: thin, more lighter than ever, legs and glutes well defined (finally, no more junior legs). Both were more lighter than ever but Pogi could put more muscle in legs and glutes.
maria2024202427-12-2024 - He can keep contending for Vuelta podium spots. A lot would need to go wrong for others and everything right for him to get on the Giro podium. He'll only be on the TdF podium if he's becomes a podium presenter.Veganpotter27-12-2024
- I like that, mind if I use it from now on? Better than using his name which always gets me worried about Google hits and giving him the excuse he was bound to behave the way he did from the derived verb.Mistermaumau27-12-2024
- This website needs clicks so just vacuums up what is available and loves anything that creates discussion.Mistermaumau27-12-2024
- Their battles are only interesting or special when both are in good shape and unfortunately it’s been a few years since that was last the case, road cycling tends to put an end to most side careers, MVDP still being a rare exception.Mistermaumau27-12-2024
