Analysis

A little souvenir of the Dutch spring classics, yet quite far from its traditional position in the calendar. The Boels Ladies Tour, formerly known as Holland Ladies Tour, will be the last ‘debut’ for the Movistar Team in 2019. Being a new team in the peloton in 2018, the Blues weren’t invited to this race, yet their condition as a top-15 WWT squad in 2019 allow them racing alongside the best in the sport for a penultimate time this year -the Telefónica-backed squad’s season as a trade team will end at the Madrid Challenge-.

As in every race in the area, it all comes down to the (high) speeds, the winds, the road furniture, turns and twists to take its toll from the peloton, in an otherwise series of flat courses. Monotony will be broken by three particularly interesting stages: the opening prologue (Tuesday 3rd), a short, intense 4km in Sittard-Geleen’s Tom Dumoulin Bikepark; stage three (Friday 6th), with five climbs to the Motieweg and the Holterberg; and Sunday’s showdown, with some ups and downs at the final circuit in Arnhem -stage four (Saturday 7th), in Nijmegen, will also contain some little hills near the end, yet finishes with a flat section-.
