Two-day NATO Summit plunges eight months of 2025 Dutch races into doubt due to police motorbike requirements

A two-day NATO summit in the Hague next summer means there will be “no capacity available for motorcycle police to supervise cycling races” for a period of eight months in the Netherlands, plunging the 2025 Dutch professional bike racing calendar into doubt.

The Dutch Cycling Union (KNWU) announced the news on Wednesday, with men’s and women’s WorldTour one-day Classic Amstel Gold Race the biggest event at risk. Nine races above a .1 level are scheduled during the affected January 1 to August 31 period, with the WWT Simac Ladies Tour safe in its October slot.
