The much awaited Eneco Tour **SPOILERS**

edit from above...Hausler in 4th, my mishtake....

Was gutted to see Henao miss out, seemed like he let Chaves take the win in the hope he had taken enough time out of Moreno. Henao has been one of my favourite riders this year, really gutsy little rider and has placed really well in pretty much every race hes taken part in this year.

The mistake Henao made was the day before on the fourth stage when he missed the decisive break which led to him losing 30 seconds. He's still got to add greater tactical knowledge to his undoubted natural talent and growing ability in all areas, not just on the climbs.

It's too bad we don't get much coverage of the current Tour of Utah, looks a right beast with nearly 36,000 feet of climbing over the week, and not the coolest of places either.

The tourtracker online is brilliant though, show every stage live

anyone watching? Bloody fast again - 4ks to go........

Another fast and furious sprint. Nizzolo takes it by a tub and Boonen keeps the leader's jersey.
Bonkers sprint again.

Yep, RD. The sprint was chaos - it looked like there were a few lead-out trains but they all disappeared before the sharp end leaving Kittel to go it alone and get swamped. Nizzolo's sprint was perfectly timed!

Anyone watching? More hard racing - Berto might have a go today.

 

[Noodley]

Why would I want to watch?

There's no medals, no twitter arguments, no gossip, and no "sound bites" from the meedya! It's a disgrace.

I watched it recorded. A decent win by Boom and Bertie showed a bit of intent on the climbs so I suspect he thinks he's in shape for next week.

 

[raindog]

yeah - he was just limbering up. Looks in great shape.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Contador was definitely holding his fire. Nice win for Boom though, although I never thought Tuft would be able to keep the overall on a stage like this - which was surprisingly interesting for the Eneco Tour...

pretty good racing, I enjoyed it, now watching the T of Utah, serious climbing going on there.
