Lavreysen, Hoogland, Büchli, Van 't Hoenderdaal, Van den Berg and Bos could all be part of a gold medal winning team sprint team..I'd go for the first three if I had to choose, but damn If you pick the first three, they don't have a starter for the teamsprint. I hope Lavreysen, Hoogland and Van den Berg will qualify, and maybe Netherlands can use a quota from another cycling discipline to qualify Büchli as well (for example mountainbike).

Are you sure that's still possible? For some reason I thought they scratched that rule this time, but I may be wrong. In any case, not just any of those sprinters can be entered in mountain bike. For that they would need some minimum UCI points (which are not very significant, but it does mean that the likes of Buchli will have to start and finish some MTB race). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But indeed, very unlikely that Büchli will race some MTB race. Anyway, one of the Dutch world champions won't compete in Tokio :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
