The Buitenpoort-Flexpoint Team will not be at the start of the third round of the Dutch Topcompetitie, the Omloop door Middag-Humsterland, on Saturday, June 4. The Dutch federation (KNWU) has ruled that teams must start with a minimum of five riders, but as part of the Buitenpoort-Flexpoint team is currently racing in the Eko Tour in Poland, it cannot meet this requirement. Instead, Mirjam Melchers-van Poppel and Elsbeth Vink will race the Emakumeen Bira in Spain, starting June 9, as preparation for the women's Giro d'Italia.
