Twenty one years after the last edition of the Tour of Holland was held, the newly-revived 2.1-ranked race is set to return to the UCI racing calendar this Tuesday evening, with a short, punchy prologue in the Hague kicking off the six-day event.
Adding another final stage racing option for teams alongside the ongoing Tour of Guangxi, this year's NIBC Tour of Holland – to give the race its new full name – boasts a strong field of sprinters including Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike), Arnaud de Lie (Lotto) and Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick Step).
