January 22: Track cyclist Jeffrey Hoogland skips the European Championships for the second year in a row. The 32-year-old eleven-time world champion from Nijverdal again follows his own schedule, with the World Championships in October in Shanghai as the main goal. Harrie Lavreysen and Roy van den Berg (Kampen) will be joined by Loris Leneman in the team sprint early next month in Konya, Turkey. With Leneman and Tijmen van Loon, Lavreysen won silver at the European Championships in Belgium last year, while the team with Hoogland and Van den Berg is consistently unbeatable.
