Due to the current worldwide COVID-19 virus pandemic, the highly popular Hammer Youth races in Limburg have been cancelled this year.
Originally scheduled to the place on 6-7 June, the Hammer Limburg Youth races, which were founded in 2017 as part of Hammer Limburg in partnership with the Limburg cycling club, the WCL Bergklimmers and with the ongoing support of the Limburg Province and host partner Sittard-Geleen, are now the biggest youth road racing events in the Netherlands.
Peter Bouwels, chairman of WCL Bergklimmers, said: “It is very unfortunate that we have to cancel all our road cycling events - not to mention the enormous effort and time of many volunteers that are now lost.
“However, the health and well-being of our team members, volunteers and cyclists comes first. Next year, we will be stronger together.”
