Big names and local heroes
The Loop of Roden has an impressive list of former participants, including cycling greats such as Erik Dekker, Lieuwe Westra and Johnny Hoogerland, who went on to make a name for themselves in the Tour de France after their appearance in Roden. But local greats like Marco Bos, Stefan Poutsma and Patrick van der Duin also rode their laps in Roden's loop. Who knows, maybe the future Tour de France winner will ride through Roden!
