The end seems near for the Pro round of North Holland. The cycling race of April 24 is canceled this year either. The reason is that the police cannot get guidance on their feet.
It is striking that the national police promised at an earlier stage to the KNWU (Royal Dutch Cycling Union) that they would provide the course with guidance. Unfortunately, this turned out to be impossible at a later stage. “It’s unbelievable that this is happening again,” says a disappointed secretary Jan Hopman of the Ronde van Noord-Holland Foundation. “We thought it was good in terms of police guidance, especially the North Holland police do not show their most reliable side as far as we are concerned.”
“death blow”
A lot of things have been tried in recent weeks after the bad news from the police, but to no avail. The round is part of the Schwalbe Top Competition. “It probably means the death knell of the Ronde van Noord-Holland. The energy will get out of us in this way. We are considering the continuation of this round.” According to Hopman about not continuing this course.
