Based on Hoogerheide's results, the Netherlands has a serious shot at least at winning four, if not all five of the rainbow jerseys with Marianne Vos, Lars Van der Haar or Mathieu van Van der Poel, Annemarie Worst and Nieuwenhuis all heading into Worlds as favorites in their categories and Ryan Kamp finishing just 13 seconds back in the Junior Men's race.
