Yes. Even though we have Some strong riders in the shorter distances, it would not be a total surprise if the Dutch men won no medals at all.

Bergsma has a good chance in the mass start, however.

A terrible day for Roest, who was definitely not in good shape.

[Gianlu33 5,290]

Wisse Slendebroek in the lead after 5 pairs, frankly I have no idea who he is. 6:19, beatable

5000 metres men. Mopping break, Roest in 6th place, with the fastest 8 riders still to come after the break.

 

Again: disappointing times so far, partly explained by unfavorable weather conditions.

Roest had one last big chance at Olympic gold in 2022 against Van der Poel in the 5km. He lost minimal.

Stijn van de Bunt DO A FUCKING MAGIC! 

[Noorderling29 191]

Van der Bunt 6.09, 5 seconds faster than Bergsma. Faster than the winning time at the World Cup qualifier, one of the 10 fastest times in Heerenveen, faster than Kramer ever did

[Gianlu33 5,290]

@Noorderling29Is Stijn van de Bunt also registered for the 10k metres?
