Simac Ladies Tour reveal route for six-day race in August
Orga🎐nisers attempt to move ahe༒ad despite warning of local motorcycle police shortage

The 23rd edition of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Simac Ladies Tour, forme🌟rly known as the Boels Ladies Tour, has reveal the route details for the six stages set to take place from August 24-29.
After being postponed and then 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:cancelled last year due to COVID-19, organi꧒sers are hopeful that the race will move ahead with appropriate measures in place during the six days of racing. However, has been reported that a shortage in motorcycle police could lead t🌳o organisers having to alter the event.
&ldqu🌳o;The Simac Ladies Tour is a transfer activity that can be compared to a fun fair or market. A cycling race is characterized by the public who is watching in their own street or village, the 1.5 meter distance is guaranteed over 95 per cent of the course," s⭕aid Thijs Rondhuis of Courage Events.
"A lot of people usually come together for the team presentation, start, finish and ceremony. We are in talks with all ♕the municipalities involved to take appropriate measures at those locations.
"You can think of moving a💮 start or finish outside the built-up area or closing off the area and allowing the public to enter there. We have a plan ready for each stage that is discussed with the municipalities involved.
"We a꧙ssume that we can event🔯ually arrive at a scenario in which all involved mayors of the eight start and finish municipalities can give their approval."
It is the biggest stage race in the Netheཧrlands, joining the Women’s World✃Tour in 2017, and it is heading into its 23rd edition.

Organisers annually welcome the top women’s teams to compete in six days of late-August racing. Former winners include Leontien van Moorsel, Petra Rosner, Kristin Armstrong, Annemiek van Vleuten, to name a few, while🍨 Marianne Vos has won the overall title four times. Christine Majerus won the last edition held in 2019.
The 2020 edition of the stage race was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:cancelled due to COVID-19. The UCI announced a revised calendar for the Women’s WorldTour last May, after the season had been halted due to the pandemic. The event was initially sꦓcheduled for August but was moved to the first week of September. Organisers had to cancel the event altogether after local municipalities would not grant permits for the six-day event due to health restrictions.
The Simac Ladies Tour will returned this August as part of the Women's WorldTour to once again welcome a world-class field. The race will cover a total of 584 kilometres that includes flat stages, an individual time trial and two selec♋tive stages.
The Simac Ladies Tour starts with a 2.4km prologue in Ede on August 24🐬 where the winner will take the first leader's jersey.
Stage 2 is a 134.4km flat race from Zwolle to Hardenberg, likely to see a sprint. Stage 3 will surely shake up the overall classification with a 22.2km time trial in Gennep. Stage 3 brings the peloton to a 125.9km race from Stramproy to Weert for another ant𝓀icipated bunch sprint.
After fouಌr relatively flat stages, the race offers two selective closings stages. The penultimate stage 5 will be 148.9km from Geleen to Sweikhuizen and the concluding stage 6 is 150.3km from Arnhem to Posbank where the overall winner of the Simac Ladies Tour will emerge.
