Analysis

Three changes will make for a quite harder Ronde van Drenthe, the Dutch race marking the second stop of the 2019 UCI Women’s WorldTour. The first of those is that the race will be nearly ten kilometers longer, reaching a distance which almost no other WWT classic has (almost 166km). The second one is that the popular VAM-berg climb – an artificial hill made with compost – now has cobblestones in a section of each of its three ascents.

The race already offered plenty of what the local people know as ‘keienstroken’, a total eight cobbled sectors to be added to the three climbs. Most of them are into the first half of the race -some of them are quite long, such as Schaapstreek (52km) or Bodenpad (66km), while the final, decisive two (third main change) are into the final 36km loop: the Echtenseweg (-25km) and most importantly De Wolden (-12km), nearly three kilometers in length, will try to avoid a group sprint as final outcome (like in 2018).
