2016 Eneco Tour final GC podium, from left: Oliver Naesen (2nd), Niki Terpstra (1st) & Peter Sagan (3rd)

The Race: Here's the organizer's stage 7 report: After a spectacular final stage Niki Terpstra has conquered the Eneco Tour. The 32-year-old Dutchman went on the offensive with Edvald Boasson Hagen, who won the finale stage in Geraardsbergen.

After 65 kilometres nine riders finally managed to break away, including former winner Tim Wellens, Roy Curvers (Giant-Alpecin), Lars-Petter Nordhaug (Team Sky), Carlos Verona (Orica-BikeExchange), Ruslan Tleubayev (Astana), Marc Sarreau (FDJ), Winner Anacona (Movistar), Brian Van Goethem (Roompot Oranje Peloton) and Simone Antonini (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), with Anacona being the best-placed rider 1'07 behind leader Rohan Dennis.

The breakaway didn't get too much wiggle room as a fine selection of Flemish cobblestoned hills promised to turn the race upside down. Via the Hurdumont, D'Houppe, Tenbosse and Denderoordberg the peloton hurtled towards the infamous Muur van Geraardsbergen, which had to be conquered three times with a finish on the Vesten in Geraardsbergen. The nine leaders only received two minutes by the time they first arrived in Geraardsbergen.

The first passage on the Muur had points in store for the Primus Checkpoint. Primus combativity leader Bert Van Lerberghe (Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise) wasn't present in the leading group, but the young Belgian had already done enough to secure his green jersey. After the first ascent of the Muur, Tinkoff took control of the chase for their leader Peter Sagan, bringing the gap down to a mere minute. Wellens decided to up the pace in the leading group and only Curvers, Nordhaug, Verona and Anacona managed to follow.

The second passage on the Muur of Geraardsbergen was made even trickier when it started raining, which inspired Wellens to attack again. This time he succeeded and the Belgian was all on his own. 

Back in the bunch a crash ended the chances of leader Rohan Dennis and Astana's Lars Boom. Both managed to continue, but lost valuable time in a pulsating finale.

While Wellens was caught with less than 50 kilometres to go, nine riders decided to take matters into their own hands, including Niki Terpstra (the best placed rider at 27 seconds behind Dennis), Naesen, Greipel, Van Poppel, Sutterlin and Boasson Hagen. Their attack was also affected by the rain, with Greipel and Van Poppel crashing out of the lead. The remaining even leaders worked together superbly to increase their gap, being chased by a group with Sagan, Greipel, Dumoulin, Degenkolb, Stybar and Debusschere.

On the final ascent of the Muur, Juul Jensen and Lutsenko had to let the other leaders go. On the Bosberg Terpstra took 9 seconds in the Eneco Golden Kilometre and he would fight for the victory with Jungels, Naesen, Sutterlin and Boasson Hagen, as the chasing group with Sagan would never make it to the front again.

The Denderoordberg, with six kilometres to go, signalled the end for Sutterlin. Naesen, Boasson Hagen and Terpstra took on the final ascent of the Vesten. Boasson Hagen proving to be the strongest, beating Terpstra and Naesen after an exciting finish. Tom Dumoulin and Greg Van Avermaet rounded out the top-five.

In the general classification Terpstra took the overall victory away from Dennis. After a brilliant final stage Naesen took second place, followed by Peter Sagan.

Saturday, September 24: Stage 6, Riemst - Lanaken, 197.2 km

Luka Pibernik wins Eneco Tour stage 6

The Race: Here's the day's racing as told by the organizer:

It's a day to remember for young Luke Pibernik. "This morning I never thought I would win," said the 22-year-old after his first WorldTour success in the Eneco Tour.

Piberknik was part of an early breakaway that looked set to be caught by the peloton, but they miscalculated and allowed the remaining riders to sprint for the victory in Lanaken. "I never thought we would make it to the finish," Pibernik (Lampre-Merida) said. "This is a great victory. The team leader said I should go in the attack today. That's what I did with just one goal: make it to the finish as fast as possible."

"It doesn't happen often that the breakaway manages to go all the way, but with one kilometre to go  I figured we would make it. Then I saved my energy, chose the wheel of Gougeard and gave everything I had with 200 metres to go."

The leader's jersey remains with Rohan Dennis (BMC) after a trouble-free penultimate stage. "Our plan worked perfectly", said the Aussie. "We could let the breakway go and it was important that Peter Sagan didn't take any seconds in the Golden Kilometre."

On Sunday Dennis holds a 16 second lead over teammate Taylor Phinney with Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick Step) 24 seconds and Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) 27 seconds behind. "We've got a lot of confidence," said Dennis. "Today we had to take on most of the work and we did well. The teammates were great. With good legs and a bit of luck it should work out tomorrow."

Friday, September 23: Stage 5, Sittard Geleen 20.9 km team time trial

Stage winner Team BMC hits the road

The Race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

BMC has won the team time trial of the Eneco Tour. On Friday the world champions beat Etixx-Quick Step by six seconds in Sittard-Geleen. BMC rider Rohan Dennis takes the leader's jersey back from Peter Sagan.

Team Dimension Data was the first formation to take the start and clocked a 24:47.70. That time didn't last long as Lampre-Merida went 15 seconds quicker. Ater several failed attempts Trek-Segafredo set the new benchmark: 24:23.27. Their time was beaten by the tiniest of margins by Orica-BikeExchange, which produced a time of 24:22.82. Team Sky operated by a bigger margin and blew that time away. Geraint Thomas and his went a whopping 33 seconds faster than Orica.

The first team to threaten Sky was Katusha but the Russian formation came three seconds short. Lotto-Soudal did improve on Sky's time with a surprisingly impressive 23:40.2, 9 seconds quicker.

While Astana and Cannondale failed to beat that benchmark but IAM Cycling did. Their 23:37.66 was 7 seconds quicker again. Etixx-Quick Step (23:17.90) took the lead by 20 seconds with a second place for Movistar (23:36.72).

Finally, world champions BMC made their appearance and lived up to their name. With a time of 23:11.07 the team of Greg Van Avermaet and Rohan Dennis set the fastest time of the day, despite valiant efforts from LottoNL-Jumbo (3rd) and Tinkoff (8th).

Rohan Dennis regains the lead in the GC, which he had to briefly hand over to Tinkoff's Peter Sagan. The Australian will start the final weekend with a 16 second lead over teammate Taylor Phinney. Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick Step) is third on 24 seconds. Peter Sagan is fourth with a 27 second deficit, joined by Niki Terpstra in fifth.

Thursday, September 22: Stage 4, Aalter - St. Pieters Leeuw, 202.0 km

Peter Sagan just beats André Greipel

The Race: Here's the report from stage winner and race leader Peter Sagan's Tinkoff team:

With a powerful sprint finish after a hectic finale to the fourth stage of the Eneco Tour, Peter Sagan took another win, his second in two days, with a bike throw to the line deciding the victor. Peter held off the charge from behind on the headwind finish, timing his lunge to perfection to take the win and the 10 second bonus that moves him into the overall race lead, by seven seconds.

After finding out that he was indeed the stage winner, Peter told us: “I didn’t know I’d won because it was very close with André and after I was waiting for the final result, but I’m very happy with the win because it’s another case of very good timing with the headwind finish. It was a nervous sprint at the end and I had to hold my line next to Démare, but that’s sprinting.

Looking ahead to tomorrow’s team time trial, Peter added: “I’m happy, it’s good that I got some more seconds from today. We want to make a good team time trial and do our best and we’ll see how it goes.”

The day’s break initially started with two before two more jumped across the gap in the early stages of the race. With Peter so close to the top of the GC, Tinkoff was one of the teams that helped control the peloton, but the catch came earlier than expected with still over 50km to race. From here the attacks came thick and fast, with several groups moving clear and the guys needing to stay attentive to what moves were going up the road. To make things more difficult, the race had entered the tough finishing circuit with cobblestones and two climbs to negotiate.

Eventually, two riders pulled clear and the pace was fast but controlled behind for the last 30km. These two swept up the golden kilometre bonus seconds before being caught in the final kilometres from which point another hectic sprint unravelled.

Holding his position in the line, then jumping at just the right moment, Peter was able to power clear and timed it to perfection to hold off a fast closing André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) from behind, giving him his third win in five days.

“From this morning we had a plan that meant that we’d need to work as we’re close in GC – everyone had to take their responsibility, so we put guys in front,” explained Sport Director, Tristan Hoffman from the finish. “When we hit the cobblestones the break came close again. Then other teams pushed on and caught the break a long way out so it was a hard race from then on.

“The boys did a good job to control, then it came back together at the end and we saw another super sprint from Peter. After his crash yesterday, Michael Valgren survived today – he was hurting but he’s getting better and hopefully he can be in good shape for tomorrow. The time trial is 20km – I don’t expect huge time differences, but it could go either way. There are other teams that are favourites but the boys are focused and I think we have some good horsepower to get a result.”

As well as taking the white jersey of race leader, Peter extends his lead in the points classification with three stages remaining.

And, Tom Boonen abandoned after crashing. Here's the update from his team:

Stage 4 of the Eneco Tour was supposed to be a quiet one for the riders, but unfortunately things took an undesired turn for seven-time Monument winner Tom Boonen, who went down in the second hour of racing and landed on his head, after hitting a pothole as he was trying to get food from his pocket.

Right after the incident, reminiscent of the one in the 2015 Abu Dhabi Tour, where Tom crashed and hit his head, suffering a left temporal bone fracture, the 35-year-old was attended by Etixx – Quick-Step's doctor, who decided that the best thing for Tom – who had a few abrasions on his body – was to abandon the race as precautionary measure and go by ambulance to the nearest hospital, so that his condition gets evaluated.

Fortunately, the cervical X-ray he underwent at the St. Vincentius Hospital in Deinze didn't reveal any injury, so Tom – winner of three races this season – was cleared by the doctors to go home, where he is to rest until the end of the week, before returning to training.

Wednesday, September 21: Stage 3, Blankenberge - Ardooie, 186.0 km

Peter Sagan winning stage 3

The Race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

Peter Sagan has conquered the third stage of the Eneco Tour. The world champion was the best of the bunch after an impressive dash to the finish. Sagan outsprinted Danny van Poppel and Nacer Bouhanni.

The start was held at the sunny beach town of Blankenberge. Five riders formed an early breakaway with Yukiya Arashiro (Trek-Segafredo), Martin Elmiger (IAM Cycling), Stijn Steels (Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise), Jesper Asselman (Roompot Oranje Peloton) and Mark McNally (Wanty-Groupe Gobert). The peloton was happy to give them a lead of over six minutes.

After 17 kilometers Steels won the first sprint for the Primus combativity classification. He collected 15 points ahead of McNally (13), Asselman (11), Arashiro (9) and Elmiger (7). On their way to Ardooie, the five escapees also took the Primus Checkpoint. Again Steels scored a maximum haul of 12 points. In the combativity classification Steels (27) is now trailing his team-mate Bert Van Lerberghe by one point.

With 25 kilometers to go the breakaway was still in the lead to fight for the seconds of the Eneco Golden Kilometer. Elmiger took nine seconds, with four seconds for Arashiro, two seconds for Steels and Asselman and a single second for McNally.

In the final stages of the race the quintet seemed to have kept enough energy in the tank to try and surprise the peloton. Dramatically, the bunch eventually caught them on the final straight. Peter Sagan emerged from the pack to take the victory ahead of Van Poppel and Bouhanni. Dylan Groenewegen was fourth, with early attacker McNally coming home in fifth. Sagan scored ten bonification seconds to close in on leader Dennis, who now leads the race by three seconds over the world champion.

Tuesday, September 20: Stage 2, Breda 9.6 km individual time trial

Rohan Dennis riding to his stage win and overall race leadership.

The Race: Here's the report from winner Rohan Dennis' BMC team.

20 September, 2016, Breda (NED): Rohan Dennis proved that he was the fastest man against the clock on stage 2 of the Eneco Tour when he smashed the 9.6km individual time trial to win the stage and take the leader's jersey.

Dennis was one of the early starters and was the first rider to go under 11 minutes, clocking 10'48" on the line to set the time to beat for the next three hours of racing.

With the course being completely flat it was the perfect time trial for the current Australian national time trial champion, who beat Jos Van Emden (Team LottoNL-Jumbo) by five seconds and was 14 seconds in front of Jasha Sutterlin (Movistar Team).

Dennis leads the general classification by five seconds over Van Emden and 13 seconds over Peter Sagan (Tinkoff).

Taylor Phinney put in a fast ride to clock the seventh-fastest time and Tom Bohli and Stefan Küng cracked the top 20 in 15th and 19th place respectively. Dennis' win is his third time trial win of the season and first UCI WorldTour stage win for 2016.

The Winner's Interview with Rohan Dennis:

It was an impressive win today, how would you describe your time trial?

"From what I saw from my side, it was as close to perfection in a time trial. I took all the risks and kind of crossed my fingers ever time I went through a corner. But it worked out. Today was as quick as I could go."

You've now put yourself into the overall lead. Is the GC your main objective for the race?

"It's great to win a stage and even better to take the lead. It's going to put pressure on the team to perform every day but we're here to win with either myself or Greg Van Avermaet. The team time trial will be another big day for the GC, so it's just about making sure we all stay up front and don't lose time each day. I think the Limburg stage and the final stage are also big concerns for the GC."

Instead of chasing a minute man, Vasil Kiryienka (Team Sky) missed his start and was just 20 seconds in front of you. How was this for you?

"Kiryienka missing that start time helped me a little in a way. He's a class time trailer, he's World Champion, but he started about 20 seconds in front of me. It gave me a little carrot you could say to chase until about 1km to go. When he went 40 seconds late he still went hard so that was a good guide to how well I was going."

This is your third time trial win this year. Does it give you confidence for the UCI World Championships?

"Today's performance was good for confidence when it comes to Qatar. I was a little bit worried before coming here. I thought that maybe because I've lost weight since Rio, maybe I've lost that raw power that I had when I was a couple of kilograms heavier. It's flat, there's corners here in the time trial and it was all about who had the most power today so that's a good indication for Qatar, considering that's going to be 100% flat."

Monday, September 19: Stage 1, Bolsward - Bolsward, 184.7 km

Dylan Groenewegen wins Eneco Tour stage 1

The Race: Here's the report from stage winner Dylan Groenewegen's LottoNL-Jumbo team.

Team LottoNL-Jumbo’s Dylan Groenewegen sprinted to victory in the opening stage of the Eneco Tour today in Bolsward, the Netherlands. The Dutchman topped Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) and world champion, and new European champion, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff). Groenewegen, thanks to the victory, took leader's jersey and the points jersey.

A breakaway of five rode free early in the 184.6-kilometre stage. In the last 10 kilometres, the sprint teams had them and their crossed swords. Groenewegen, calm, focused on his team-mates.

"I stayed on the wheel of Robert Wagner, and he kept me out of the wind perfectly,” said Groenewegen. “We continued on the right with the Orica train coming up. I jumped on the wheel of Caleb Ewan, but he was trapped. Nizzolo jumped, and I knew I had to take his wheel and I’d have a clear sprint.

"We worked hard and came to the Eneco Tour to win a stage. It is nice that we immediately succeeded on the first day. We have worked on this sprint train only for seven months, but now we win at the highest level against the strongest sprinters. That makes this win special. “

"This is a milestone for Dylan and the team,” Merijn Zeeman, the team’s sports director said. “This our first WorldTour win with this sprint train. The long straight road and tailwind made for an unpredictable finish. You don’t want to go too early, but you still have to go. Today, the sprint trains could not organize and tangled constantly. "

The Dutch team in yellow and black broke up, but their leader prevailed. “At one point, I thought Groenewegen sat in a hopeless position, but he battled his way through. He arrived to speed at the right time and then was hard to beat.

“Dylan Groenewegen made another step towards being a top level sprinter. He is became stronger this year and is now in top form."

Groenewegen should lose the leader’s jersey tomorrow in the time trial stage, says Zeeman. "It will be the turn of the time trial specialists, but on Wednesday, we have another chance with Groenewegen."
