In the ‘recreantenrace’ a delegation of Dutch Mountains showed their strong legs. Christiaan Riemens, Mark Knoops and Peter Roozemond took off halfway through the race together with former Greek national champion time trailing Neofytos Sakellaridis. Roozemond ultimately managed to win the race in a sprint-a-deux with Sakellardis.

The men without licence race was characterised by a relatively big group of cyclists that stayed together for most of the race. In the end, Guus Schutte from NSWV Mercurius managed to sneak away from the peloton and finished solo.

Going solo turned out to be the key to success during this year’s Ronde van Wolder. Both the races in the women’s category and men with licence category were won solo. In the women’s category it was Esmee Peperkamp (also NSWV mercurius) who took off solo right from the beginning of the race until the glorious end. In the men with licence category it was our own Lars Quaedvlieg who managed to demolish all of his rivals. Congratiolations!

Last Saturday, was it time for the third students cup of the year. Five members of DM travelled the long journey to Enschede where Klein Verzet was organizing the race. In contrary to all the other races did the men and women start at the same time which resulted in an exciting race for the supporters. At the women’s race, sprinted Lieske to the front group and Ella and Lotte tried to stop the chasing of the bunch. Lieske eventually cycled to a nice second place and the mission was succeeded. By the men’s race did Jannes and Tom represent DM. After a difficult race finished both men in the bunch during the sprint.

Last Saturday, the second race of the SWN Students cup was organised by Helingproof. In the womens race, Lieske sprinted with a 2nd place to her first podium spot of the season! In the men without licenses categorie, their were 3 riders from DM. Debutant Paul and Tom finished in the bunch and Thom’s race resulted in a 6th place.
