The race uses generally flat roads in the Drenthe region of the Netherlands, with the challenge being multiple ascents of the VAMberg [nl] - a hill built on a landfill site.
[1] Due to overnight snowfall, the course was shortened by 60 kilometres (37 mi), by omitting the cobblestone sectors and using six laps around the VAMberg instead.
[2] Organisers cleared snow from the VAMberg to allow the race to take place, with riders noting that the roads were wet, but "not so much as to make it dangerous".
[4] The peloton held to the finish in Hoogeveen, with Lorena Wiebes of SD Worx winning the bunch sprint by several bike lengths.
[5] Susanne Andersen of Uno-X Pro Cycling Team finished in second place, with Maike van der Duin of Canyon–SRAM in third.
