On October 14, the official start of the Tour of Holland will sound: the Dutch Depart Opening Ceremony.
On October 14, the NIBC Tour of Holland will officially kick off with the Dutch Depart Opening Ceremony in the Topsporthal of Sportcampus Zuiderpark. From 4:30 to 5:30 PM, we will celebrate the start of the race with a special presentation that offers much more than just the introduction of teams and riders.
During the ceremony, you’ll meet the race director, hear former riders preview the stages, and take a closer look at the coveted leader’s jerseys up for grabs throughout the Tour. The Dutch Depart is therefore not just a traditional team presentation, but a dynamic starting signal for a week full of cycling action across the Netherlands.
