The top Dutch contenders
In recent years, Dutch favourite Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) has dominated. He won the time-trial race in 2014, 2016 and 2017. Dumoulin will not take part this year, however, after he pulled out of the Tour de France due to fitness issues.
Other winners of the time-trial race in recent years include last year’s third-placed Kelderman and the now-retired Lieuwe Westra.
Terpstra and Kelderman will once more be favourites to go one better than last year and take van Baarle’s crown. Elsewhere, Robert Gesink (Team Jumbo-Visma) came third in 2017 and will be a strong challenger, while van Emden, Steven Kruijswijk (Team Jumbo-Visma), Sebastian Langeveld (Team EF Education First) and Lars Boom (Team Roompot - Charles). Jos van Emden is a serial podium finisher and will be hoping he can finally take the crown. Wout Poels (Team INEOS) is an outside shout.
