The Drentse 8 cycling race that was held on Friday in the municipality of Westerveld has started, but has not finished. It had already been decided to shorten the competition, but the heavy snowfall caused the jury to cancel after one passage. 145 riders took the start in Dwingeloo. No result is generated.

The expected snowfall tonight and tomorrow could also have an impact on Saturday’s Ronde van Drenthe. But no decision has been made yet. “It will be exciting,” says Van Issum.
