Limburg, Netherlands – The world's best pro-cycling teams are preparing to go all out against each other for the second weekend in-a-row as the Hammer Series moves from Norway to the Netherlands.
Hammer Series racing is all about the team - there are no individual prizes - with each event featuring three races over three days. The Hammer Climb, Hammer Sprint and Hammer Chase are designed to test every facet of bike racing and the strongest team is sure to come out on top.
