Team Netherlands 🇳🇱

For the home fixture, Dutch Chef d’Équipe Wout‑Jan van der Schans fields a powerhouse line‑up:

  • Kim Emmen – Imagine N.O.P.

  • Willem Greve – Grandorado TN N.O.P.

  • Harrie Smolders – Monaco

  • Maikel van der Vleuten – Beauville Z N.O.P.

“These combinations have been on fire in recent weeks,” Van der Schans said. “Harrie, Maikel and Kim were brilliant in Cannes, highlighted by Harrie and Monaco winning the Grand Prix. Grandorado has come back from his break in great shape with Willem. I’ve ridden Rotterdam many times, but this will be my first appearance as Chef d’Équipe, and I’m hoping for a sea of orange in the stands. A strong result at home is vital for our push toward the LLN Final in Barcelona.”
