Ronde van Drenthe

The Ronde van Drenthe (German round of Drenthe ) is a Dutch cycling race .

The one-day race took place for the first time in 1960 and has been held annually at the beginning of April since then, with a few exceptions. It runs through the Dutch province of Drenthe . Part of the race leads over cobblestones , which is why it is also known as : Hel van het Noorden (German: Hell of the North ). This refers to the queen of the classics Paris – Roubaix ( French: L'Enfer du Nord (Hell of the North)), which takes place a week later. The round was only won four times by foreigners, including the Germans Markus Eichler and Marcel Sieberg . The race has been part of the UCI Europe Tour since 2005 and is classified in UCI category 1.1. In 2018 it was upgraded to the 1st HC race .

In 2011, the Ronde van Drenthe was merged into a stage race with the one-day race Dwars door Drenthe, which was founded in 2010 . Kenny van Hummel won both races and won the overall standings. The Italian Enrico Rossi won the first edition of Dwars door Drenthe in 2010 .

The women's race was part of the women's cycling world cup from 2007 to 2015 and was added to the calendar of the newly established UCI Women's WorldTour in 2016 .
