Give us a GT in Benelux: A hilly prologue in Brussels, 2 sprint stages, a TTT, 1 Ardennes Stage finishing on La Redoute, another 1 on Mur de Huy, 4 cobble stages with 1 finishing on Muur Van Geraardsbergen, 2 windy stages near the coastline. One stage in Dutch Limburg, 3 more hilly in Luxemburg, inlcuding one very hard one for climbers, another ITT and some flat stages in between to get from one place to another

This hilly or cobble races are very tough once. we will have a exhausted and blown peleton at end of 3 weeks.
Somethings are good just the way they are. Riders can ride hard at Ronde Vlandereen or Amstel or LBL or Fleche Wallone because of the gaps in between races which allows riders to recover.
Even now at eneco tour stages are shorter 160 kms or so. Because on longer route riders would be too tired by 2 days.
Same way as eating too many sweets cause diabetes, too much of similar type races will make other once boring, as is with hill top finishes nowadays.
And boring stage today, easy win for Wellens . Dumoulin or Boom should've taken it, but yeah BMC and Giant rode like pussies and let Belkin do everything...

Terpstra pulled a Bouhanni. You should disown him.
BMC came here to ride for Gilbert when it was clearly GVA who was the strongest. Giant didn't have the team to compete, and it wouldn't have surprised me if Boom or Dumoulin wanted to try and attack on the final hill which was blocked by a car.
It was a good Eneco even with the anticlimax. Bring on the Vuelta.
Was even better before. Drucker steals a bottle from a FDJ soigneur, taking it in front of the FDJ rider two places behind him. FDJ guys gets pissed, and Drucker just throws the bottle on the ground
