The Dutch cycling federation (KNWU) has approved dates for the rescheduled road championships, which will now be held on the UCI-specified dates of August 21-23.
The championships, originally scheduled for June, were cancelled in May when the Netherlands government halted all sporting events until September 1 to stem the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. But after weeks of lockdown and the virus largely under control, the government decided to begin allowing mass-start racing as of July 1.
"For many riders this is an event to look forward to," Veneberg said in a press release. "It would have been easy to explain if we could not organise this year given the social interests that took precedence for several months.
"But now that sporting events are allowed again, we look forward to a race that is important to us as a federation.
"The decision to organize was taken into account that the Dutch championship is an important moment, especially for the Continental teams and the women's teams, to generate exposure for their sponsors. Especially now that there has been no competition for a few months.
"With the cooperation of all parties we can and want to contribute as a union to give some extra shine to this season."
