The annual Easter mountain bike race of Nieuwkuijk, organized by TeamBrabant200 will take place on the 4th and 5th of April. The race is also known as the Rabobank Vantuyl Easter Bike.

In the previous editions the race was aimed at national riders, but the organization felt it was time to broaden their horizons. Organising a Benelux Cup appeared to be the next logical step. Even though this cup  is no longer in existence, they did not want to waste the work and are keeping the international status without it being embedded in a cup.

The race will be held two days in a row. On Easter Sunday april 4th, the races for youth and amatures will be held. According to current plans there will also be a company race in wich each company can delegate a team of 3 racers.

Monday April 5th the international racers to take up the battle. There are quite some UCI points available who can be used to earn a place in the first World Cup of the season. The organization is expecting quite an international participants field.
