The WorldTour roadshow returns to the Benelux as some of the strongest riders in the peloton line up for the 11th edition of the Eneco Tour.
The cross-border event is one of the most testing mid-season races on the calendar, with the organisers routinely seeking out the most challenging bergs in the region in a bid to test out the world’s elite.
Run in equal parts across Holland and Belgium, the race has often rewarded the strong men and classics stars in the bunch, and with precious WorldTour points up for grabs there will be no quarter given once again.
Team Sky arrive at the start in Bolsward with a strong squad, with Nathan Earle, Lars Petter Nordhaug and Chris Sutton arriving after racing the Tour of Denmark. Bernhard Eisel, Andy Fenn, Danny Pate, Ian Stannard and Elia Viviani complete a selection which combines experience and classics firepower.
