Huub Artz (Lotto Intermarch\u00e9) secured his first elite national title in the individual time trial at the Dutch Road Championships<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Under scorching temperatures, Artz crossed the finish line with the fastest time of the day, 40:29.26, beating runner-up Dylan van Baarle (Soudal-QuickStep) by 31 seconds and third-placed Sjoerd Bax (Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling) by 58 seconds in Laren.<\/p>\n

The race was shifted to a later afternoon to avoid the alarmingly warm mid-afternoon temperatures<\/a>, which reached 35\u00b0C in Laren, in the Achterhoek region of eastern Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Many federations across Europe took safety precautions by adding shaded areas, air-conditioned trucks for changing, and even sprinkler systems.<\/p>\n

The elite men’s 31 starters were divided into two waves during the time trial as they tackled two large loops totalling 35.8km.<\/p>\n
