The race, in words
Pieter Pols & Edo Herrera finished 191st of 298 men's teams in the Doubles Pro division at Amsterdam 2026, in 1:09:49.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:19 of the median. A harder second half: 1:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Amsterdam gave the field time back: about 1:18 faster than the average race this season, by 265 teams who raced both.
