Dutch Cycling Federation gets government assistance to solve police motorbike disruption during NATO Summit

After the 2025 Dutch professional racing calendar was plunged into doubt due to an upcoming NATO summit, the KNWU (Royal Dutch Cycling Union) has made progress in training “civilian motorcycle traffic controllers” to ensure racing goes ahead. 

Despite the meeting of NATO’s 32 members in the Hague only taking place over two days in June, the KNWU announced in November that police requirements would mean “an absence of motorcycle officers at cycling races for almost the entire cycling season.”
