"It is bitter and disappointing to have to conclude that the two-day NATO summit results in an absence of motorcycle officers at cycling races for a period of no less than eight months, which is almost the entire cycling season," said Maurice Leeser, Director of the KNWU.
"The KNWU will do everything in its power together with the organizers to ensure that the planned cycling races in 2025 will go ahead. In this respect, it is crucial to make progress in the accelerated deployment of civilian motorcycle traffic controllers," he added.
The news comes after several years of being under pressure to organise races in the Netherlands but the KNWU are determined to ensure the calendar goes ahead.
NATO's 32 members will meet at the World Forum in The Hague on June 24 and 25, requiring a large number of police escorts.
