Ronde van Drenthe (English: Tour of Drenthe) was an elite men's and women's professional road bicycle racing event held annually in the Drenthe, Netherlands and sanctioned by the Royal Dutch Cycling Union. The women's event was part of the UCI Women's World Tour, and the men's event was part of the UCI Europe Tour.
In 2024, organisers announced that the race had been cancelled, owing to increasing costs, regulations and lack of support from the police.[1]
