Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) reclaimed the highway race title on the Netherlands Road Championships after final taking the red-white-blue jersey in 2016.
Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike) completed a number of bike lengths again within the bunch dash for the silver medal, with Ramon Sinkeldam (Alpecin-Decuninck) edging out Mike Teunissen (Intermarché-Wanty) for the bronze.
Riding second wheel behind Jelte Krijnsen (Parkhotel Valkenburg) with 200 metres to go, Groenewegen accelerated across the left aspect of the 23-year-old within the remaining nook to maneuver clear for the victory.
Last 12 months’s winner Dylan van Baarle (Visma-Lease a Bike) was not on the beginning, having fractured his collarbone in a mass crash at Critérium du Dauphiné two weeks in the past. Van Baarle had been named to the Dutch highway squad for the Olympic Games, whereas sprinters Kooij and Groenewegen weren’t referred to as for responsibility.
