The nominations for the Dutch Cycling Awards have been announced by Club 48. On Monday, November 24, during the National Cycling Gala at the Beatrix Theater at the Royal Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, the awards will be presented to the best cycling achievements of the past year. During the gala, four awards will traditionally be presented: the Gerrit Schulte Trophy for Cyclist of the Year, the Keetie van Oosten-Hage Trophy for Cyclist of the Year, the Gerrie Knetemann Trophy for Talent of the Year and the Team Award for the best cycling collective.
