Any predictions for the winners? In the women's category I guess that Nicole van Batenburg is the favorite, but to be honest none of the other names are familiar to me.
In the men's category, we have two previous winners, Lennart Nap and Bas Vlaskamp. Next to that Bernhard Ritter, who has done well in the Three Peaks bike race. And then there is Ralf Ringenaldus: a fast audax rider who can easily maintain average speeds of over 30km/h on a 600km-brevet, even when he's riding solo. I don't know his ambitions, but I think he has potential.
In the pair's category, I'm rooting for Martin and Trudy Scholte Lubberink, but I'm pretty sure that they are aiming for a finish on Sunday evening.
