The new professional road cycling series will take place between 2 - 4 June in Sportzone Limburg, in the Netherlands, with the opening ceremony kick starting the race on 1 June, 2017. Looking ahead to the race, 28 year old Mirza said: “I am excited to take part in a new race format and concept - every ability will be tested in the Hammer Series.
