Douwe van Hinsbergen at the Tour de France.
Douwe van Hinsbergen at the Tour de France. The landscape that riders race through, and therefore the race itself, is the result of a long geological history. The Geo-Sports team knows that history, and tells the story of the geology under the course on the Geo-Sports YouTube channel. Geo-Sports is an initiative by Utrecht University and Naturalis Biodiversity Center, and this summer the team will also present the geology of the Tour de France. We'll be showing three things: first, the world of the Cretaceous period hiding under the hills of the Amstel Gold Race in South Limburg. It was a warmer world, with dinosaurs. We'll also be visiting the Mosasaurus fossil in the Natural History Museum of Maastricht.
