4000 m team pursuit with four riders (from 2012)

After 2012 Ellen van Dijk stopped riding on the track, focussing on the road. Because Van Dijk was the most important rider for the team and because the team needs an addition rider, the national coach and technical director decided not to have a Dutch women's team pursuit team. [11] For that reason there is not yet an official 4000 m team pursuit national record.
