In advance everyone knew that the 2016 edition of BeachBattle would be a tough one as the beach was hard to ride. When the wind also joined ‘the party’ is was clear it was going to be a race for the real men. Soon there was a six men leading group with Ramses Bekkenk, Bram Rood, Ronan van Zandbeek, Richard Jansen, Jasper Ockeloen and Lars Boom. 
Ockeloen and Boom managed to escape halfway course and finally it was Boom who rode to victory. Behind leading couple KMC-Fruit to Go duo Rood and Bekkenk left Jansen and van Zandbeek behind and Rood took last left podium place in front of Bekkenk. Teammate Stefan Vreugdenhil finished fifteenth.
