There will be live coverage of the final section of all three stages on the Eurosport Player and GCN, starting at 12.00-12.30pm.
There will be 10-6-4″ up for grabs at the finish of the two road stages, plus 3-2-1″ at the intermediate sprints.
2021 will mark the Movistar Team’s first appearance at a traditional early-season stagerace, fully suited to the rouleurs and time trialists from the North, which will be held into closed circuits at the Dutch provinces of Drenthe and Groningen. Another good chance for the Telefónica-backed squad’s classics roster to seek for glory.
28 laps, two more than those the MotoGP riders cover at the Dutch TT, will be done by the peloton at the Assen Circuit on stage one, which should come down to a sprint (Wednesday 10th). A day later, a time trial along the sea in Lauwersoog (Thursday 11th) should set some early gaps to be confirmed over the 17.5 laps over the VAM-berg, the small, cobbled, garbage-made mountain usually featured in the Ronde van Drenthe (Friday 12th).
