Are you Ready?
A new year, a new Jeugdtour. We have reached edition 57 and we are very proud of that. In 2023 we were finally back after an absence of three years. This year we will continue as before.
Program 2024
Of course, everyone is curious about the competition program. One of the criticisms of 2023 was the short distance of the races and thus few kilometers in the whole week, especially for the older categories. We have done something about that.
The prologue has been replaced by a criterium, the time trial has become longer for the older categories and we have included two longer circuit races or Omloop in the program. There is also a lot of climbing to be expected. The points race and the criterium on the track in Emmen will not return.
We are now sharing the program with reservations. The permits are pending and we are confident that this will be the program. However, should things change, this is not a reason for full refunds.
Monday, July 29 – Criterium Assen-Oost + opening ceremony Assen center
Tuesday July 30 – Omloop Lieveren, municipality of Noordenveld
Wednesday July 31 – Omloop VAM-mountain
Thursday 1 August – Time trial Muur van Emmen
Friday 2 August – Final criterium Asserbos + prize-giving ceremony
Registration
We start on Monday, February 5 at 10:00 am Dutch time with the registration via our website. There you simply enter your first and last name, city, country, club name and your UCI code. If you don’t know it yet, write a 0 and let us know later. Submit and done!
Participation confirmation
We classify on a first come first served basis. Categories have a maximum size determined by the national federation for youth races. This is to protect the safety of the riders. Due to the system of categories we can’t close the registration per category so it’s possible to enter when a category is full and you receive a confirmation. You will be informed within 48hrs if you are on a waiting list.
Payment
The participation fee has remained the same as in 2023, so €125 per rider. Also the campsite fees have not been increased.
We ask you to pay before April 1. This can be done on the account of the Stichting Ondersteuning Wielersport. The details are in your confirmation email. Mention the name and category of the rider in the description. After payment you will get a number on the start list. If not paid, the starting place goes to someone on the possible waiting list.
Cancellation
There are many reasons to cancel. Because we also make costs, cancellation is unfortunately not without obligation. Cancel before May 1 is 80% return, before June 1 is 60% return, before July 1 is 40% return and cancel before July 20 is 20% return. This also applies to the campsite.
Junior women
We already have a lot of interest from strong teams for the junior women’s races. With AG Insurance-NXTG there is a leading Dutch junior team at the start. The national team of Canada will also participate. We hope to welcome a very strong field for junior women because the girls have the future in racing.
THE WEBSITE AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HAVE NOT YET BEEN UPDATED. THAT WILL BE DONE BY FEB. 5.
