Eneco Tour 2016
The 2016 Eneco Tour was won by Niki Terpstra. The Dutchman powered to victory after Rohan Dennis, who had been leader for most of the week, crashed in the rainy closing stage in Flanders. In fact, that last stage was similar to the Tour of Flanders, featuring steep hills and cobbles. Perfect circumstances for Terpstra, who seized the opportunity. Oliver Naesen finished the race in second, Peter Sagan in third.
