He rides a loop around his country.
And while he's watching, the country looks back.
Race Around the Netherlands is a bike race of more than 1900 kilometers, but this movie isn't about distance or time. It's about watching. About how the Netherlands – the country we think we know – changes when it slowly rolls under you, hour after hour, day after day. And how that same country also shapes, impacts, mirrors and sometimes makes you stop.
We follow former cycling pro Laurens ten Dam through quiet, dewy mornings, deep dark nights and sun-soaked afternoons. While he proceeds, his presence intertwines with that of others: the oyster fisherman in the tide, the captain on the ferry, a group dancing at a jazz festival, the farmer riding on his land. Some encounters turn into conversations, others remain a glimpse. It is in those crossroads that the story unfolds. It is a search for peace, that comes when you can't be anywhere else but in that specific place, in that moment. A country that retakes shape when you cross it slowly – from Texel to Drielandenpunt, from Amerongen to Pernis. And it is a portrait of anyone living, working, watching or just being along that route in the endless summer of 2025.
PREMIERE
The première of Race Around the Netherlands will take place in Forum, Groningen on Sunday January 18th 2026. Before and after the screening, Laurens ten Dam and Stefan Bolt will engage in a dialogue.

Who we are
LSRF
Born and raised in the home of cycling, the Netherlands - a continuous source of inspiration with its long beaches and vast dunes, woods and heath lands, cities and small towns.
LSRF focusses on performance, no matter the conditions. We demand the best of ourselves - our clothing should also match that attitude. Tested in real life, under extreme conditions, on adventures all over the world, we want our jerseys and bibs to keep up with our pace.
With ex-pro roadie turned into ultra-gravel-adventurer Laurens ten Dam as one of our founding fathers and main ambassador, we take pride in our knowledge of this game called cycling and what it demands of their players.
