Eneco Tour 2015

Eneco Tour 2015The Eneco Tour 2015 was nothing short of a spectacle race. After three sprint stages and an ITT, the GC-battle exploded in stages 5, 6 and 7, more or less Eneco-versions of Amstel Gold Race, Liege-Bastogne-Liege and the Tour of Flanders. Young Tim Wellens powered to glory in stage 6, which proved to be the fundament for his overall win. Greg Van Avermaet and Wilco Kelderman were the other riders at the podium.
