Check hier het programma!

It is just over 50 days until the European Junior Cycling Tour Assen starts. Behind the scenes we have been working for more than half a year to organize the event. We are happy to see so many young riders with category 6 even being full. Unfortunately we see very few U17/nieuwelingen and juniors this year. Don’t hesitate because the program is top notch!

We are communicating today the program for the two stages in Assen and the one on the VAM mountain because these permits are completely finalized. On Thursday we are aiming for a time trial of around 12 kilometers for the riders from category 7 and up. The other categories race an appropriate distance. In addition, on Tuesday we are aiming for an exciting, long omloop with open stretches where good racing can take place. There, the juniors (M/F) race for about 80 minutes and the nieuweleingen (M/F) for just over an hour. When these stages are complete, you will find them under program.

Monday, July 29: criterium Assen-Oost
We have exchanged the prologue in Assen-Oost for a criterium on the same, well-known round. The distances and provisional start times can be found here.

Tuesday, July 30: omloop Lieveren (details to follow)

Wednesday July 31: circuit Col du Vam
This is the queen stage of the Youth Tour 2024. From category 4 and up, the riders will go up the famous VAM mountain. The nieuwelingen and juniors even do the steepest part to the highest point. There they will find gradients of 16%. Click for distances and provisional start times.

Thursday, August 1: time trial Emmen (details to follow)

Friday, August 2: criterium Asserbos
As usual we finish with the criterium in the Asserbos. Click for distances and provisional start times. With sharp turns, cobblestones and high speed it is always spectacular. Afterwards we honor all champions together on the big stage.
