The Dutch skaters will compete from 10 to 12 February in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Poland, where the fifth World Cup of the season is scheduled. Almost the entire team of Jumbo-Visma and Irene Schouten are missing in Poland.
The World Cup in Tomaszów Mazowiecki is the last normal World Cup of the season. A week later, the World Cup final is also scheduled in the Polish city.
Jutta Leerdam, Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong, Jorrit Bergsma, Thomas Krol, Merijn Scheperkamp and Dai Dai N’tab will not participate in Poland from Jumbo-Visma. They prefer training. Schouten is missing because she is taking a rest period.
At the World Cup in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, there is also a battle for tickets for the World Championship distances. The Netherlands is almost certain of the maximum number of starting tickets for most distances, which are distributed on the basis of the World Cup classification. In the team pursuit (men and women) and the mass start (men), the Dutch skaters still have to score a lot of points over the next two weekends.
