2007 Eneco Tour

The 2007 Eneco Tour road cycling race took place from 22 to 29 August. The third edition of the Eneco Tour covered parts of the Netherlands and Belgium. Instead of 23 teams like before, only 21 teams take part in the race this year. Of the 20 UCI ProTour teams, only Astana chose not to take part.[1] The teams Chocolade Jacques–Topsport Vlaanderen and Skil–Shimano were each given a wild card.

Overview of the stages

Several cities that have been start or finish locations already the previous years appear again in the schedule, e.g. Hasselt, Beek, Landgraaf, Sittard and Geleen were already part of the 2006 route. A major difference in the schedule is that the long time trial will now take place on the last day of the competition.

Withdrawals

All teams were allowed to start with 8 riders. For 21 teams this would create a starting field of 168 riders. Just like previous years however, some teams chose to start with only 7 riders, namely Française des Jeux, Lampre–Fondital, Crédit Agricole and AG2R Prévoyance. As a result, only 164 riders were on the official starting list.
