The much awaited Eneco Tour **SPOILERS**

[rich p]

Next Monday. Okay, not the most exciting race and very much an after-the-lord-mayor's-show event but of slightly more interest this year as Dirty Bertie Contador is making his comeback.
We may get an idea of where his preparation is with a view to the upcoming Vuelta. The mountains of Holland will sort the boys from the boys!

Meanwhile the actually interesting, Vuelta a Burgos, is going on. Last stage looks like a cracker. My pre-season tip, Henao is poised for the overall...

Really looking forward to the Eneco Tour, be interesting to see how Bert performs.

Interesting to see how the onshore winds affect things

Lot of pro tour teams missing from the Burgos race, but a good result for Moreno and a podium finish for Henao. Some decent climbs in there too.
On the Eneco, the final stage with Geraardsbergen should be interesting. Boonen ?

 

[Jon Baines]

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.

That was very fast very hard racing - fantastic to watch.
Shame about the big crash 2ks from the finish though - buggered the sprint up a bit.

 

[Strathlubnaig]

ouch, big crash, but within the last 3km.... good win for Kittel, pleased for Garmin's Hausler 3rd spot. Few slighlty more serious looking walking wounded rolling in quite late.

Looked abit of a nasty crash, dont think it had much of an effect on the finish though Kittel and Argos just looked really strong.

It was near the front and must have disrupted quite a few teams.

Yeah but i dont think they'd have stopped Kittel taking the win really
