It took place from 18 August to 25 August 2009 in the Benelux. Like the previous years, parts of the Netherlands and Belgium were covered. It was part of the inaugural UCI World Ranking. It began with a short individual time trial in Rotterdam and ended with a longer one in Amersfoort. Teams As the Tour of Benelux is a UCI ProTour event, all 18 ProTeams were invited automatically and obligated to send a squad. Three UCI Professional Continental teams, SKS 2009, TSV 2009, and VAC 2009 were also invited to the race, for a total of 21 teams. Each team was allowed eight riders, though EUS 2009 sent only seven and MRM 2009 had a rider who planned to start withdraw due to injury before the prologue, meaning 166 riders began the event.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-1/results Eneco Tour: Prologue, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20090820002546/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-1/results 2009-08-20 dead The 21 teams participating in the race are:http://www.sport.be/enecotour/2009/fr/live/competitionteamriders.html?Competition_ID=841 fr Edition 2010: 17/08 -24/08 sport.be 15 December 2022 21 August 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090821175654/http://www.sport.be/enecotour/2009/fr/live/competitionteamriders.html?Competition_ID=841 dead ALM 2009 AST 2009 BBO 2009 GCE 2009 COF 2009 EUS 2009 FDJ 2009 FUJ 2009 GRM 2009 LAM 2009 LIQ 2009b QST 2009 RAB 2009 SIL 2009 SKS 2009 THR 2009b KAT 2009 MRM 2009 SAX 2009 TSV 2009 VAC 2009 Stages Prologue 18 August 2009 - Rotterdam (Netherlands), 4.4 km (ITT) The course for the prologue time trial was a quick, flat trip through downtown Rotterdam, taking a lap around the city's Southern Park. The course was not at all technical; it contained only gentle turns to form a rectangle, along with long straightaways.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-1 Eneco Tour: Preview, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20090820002543/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-1 2009-08-20 dead Quick Step's Sylvain Chavanel picked up his second victory of the season in the prologue. Chavanel was one of the first men to take the course, and had to wait for ninety minutes to see if his time would hold up. His biggest threat came from Garmin-Slipstream rider Tyler Farrar, who clocked in .23 seconds slower than Chavanel. The Frenchman took the first leader's white jersey.

Their maximum advantage over the peloton was 3'50". The top teams in the general classification, Quick Step and Garmin-Slipstream, worked to bring the breakaway back, since they also had strong sprinters who they wanted to try for the stage win. At the 85 km mark, Bobbie Traksel, Luis Pasamontes and Wim Stroetinga crashed, and Pasamontes and Stroetinga had to leave the race with injuries. The breakaway gradually fragmented because of the pace and the day's heat. Bodnar was the last escapee to be caught, with 5 km to go before the finish. The mass sprint finish was won by Tyler Farrar, who became the new race leader.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-2/results Eneco Tour: Stage 1, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20090820003429/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-2/results 2009-08-20 dead The sprint was perhaps overshadowed, however, by a dramatic crash that took place right behind it. About ten riders deep in the bunch, two riders collided, and the remainder of the peloton, in full sprint, had no chance to avoid them, leading to further crashes. All 144 riders who started the sprint together were given the same finishing time as Farrar, but five riders were injured, most notably Silence-Lotto's Gorik Gardeyn, who was taken to a hospital with four or five broken ribs, and a double fracture of his right shoulder blade. FDJ 2009 yes's Yoann Offredo sustained a left shoulder injury. Maxime Vantomme, Sebastien Turgot, and Koen de Kort also sought medical attention, but their injuries weren't considered serious enough for them to have to leave the race.https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/gardeyn-seriously-injured-in-eneco-sprint-crash Gardeyn seriously injured in Eneco sprint crash 19 August 2009 Stage 1 Result CyclistTeamTime1Tyler Farrar USAGRM 2009 4h 18' 40"2Tom Boonen BELQST 2009 s.t.3Edvald Boasson Hagen NORTHR 2009b s.t.4Graeme Brown AUSRAB 2009 s.t.5Robert Förster GERMRM 2009 s.t.6Yauheni Hutarovich BLRFDJ 2009 s.t.7Tom Veelers NEDSKS 2009 s.t.8Roy Sentjens BELSIL 2009 s.t.9Mathew Hayman AUSRAB 2009 s.t.10Juan José Haedo ARGSAX 2009 s.t.General Classification after Stage 1 CyclistTeamTime1Tyler Farrar USA20px|Farrar was awarded the white jersey as general classification leader after this stageGRM 2009 4h 23' 26"2Tom Boonen BELQST 2009 + 4"3Sylvain Chavanel FRAQST 2009 + 9"4Edvald Boasson Hagen NORTHR 2009b + 10"5Bradley Wiggins GBRGRM 2009 + 11"6Joost Posthuma NEDRAB 2009 + 11"7Vincenzo Nibali ITALIQ 2009b + 13"8Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 + 13"9Maarten Tjallingii NEDRAB 2009 + 14"10Nikolas Maes BELTSV 2009 + 14" Stage 2 20 August 2009 - Ardooie (Belgium) to Brussels (Belgium), 178.1 km This stage is undulating, with numerous small raises in elevation, including the Muur van Geraardsbergen, used yearly in the Tour of Flanders.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-3 Eneco Tour: Preview, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20090817212022/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-3 2009-08-17 dead The heat combined with the many small climbs caused many riders to drop out of the race. A notable rider to abandon was Astana's Andreas Klöden due to injuring his wrist after crashing going around a roundabout. A 5-man breakaway formed after 18 km, comprising Juan José Haedo, Mathew Hayman, Tanel Kangert, Jérémy Roy, and David Deroo. Their maximum advantage was just under two minutes, and they began to splinter 76 km from the finish. By that point, the leading peloton in pursuit of the breakaway was only about 80 riders strong. Several riders from that leading peloton tried to counterattack as the morning's breakaway was caught, and a group including Edvald Boasson Hagen was able to get away briefly. As Boasson Hagen began the stage fourth overall, the contenders weren't willing to let him get very far up the road, and limited the advantage of this breakaway to just 48 seconds before it was caught. Numerous other breakaways saw riders briefly get away, and Nick Nuyens had a gap of 20 seconds inside the final kilometer, but a mass sprint finish still took place. The sprint was won by race leader Tyler Farrar, who extended his overall lead, though he expressed doubt in his ability to hold it when asked after the stage.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-3/results Eneco Tour: Stage 2, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20090821195225/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-3/results 2009-08-21 dead Stage 2 Result CyclistTeamTime1Tyler Farrar USA20px|Farrar won the stage while wearing the white jersey as general classification leaderGRM 2009 4h 17' 53"2Yauheni Hutarovich BLRFDJ 2009 s.t.3Edvald Boasson Hagen NORTHR 2009b s.t.4Graeme Brown AUSRAB 2009 s.t.5Tom Veelers NEDSKS 2009 s.t.6Francesco Gavazzi ITALAM 2009 s.t.7Baden Cooke AUSVAC 2009 s.t.8Alexandre Usov BLRCOF 2009 s.t.9Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil ESPGCE 2009 s.t.10Tom Boonen BELQST 2009 s.t.General Classification after Stage 2 CyclistTeamTime1Tyler Farrar USA20px|Farrar retained the white jersey as general classification leader after this stageGRM 2009 8h 41' 09"2Edvald Boasson Hagen NORTHR 2009b + 13"3Tom Boonen BELQST 2009 + 14"4Sylvain Chavanel FRAQST 2009 + 19"5Bradley Wiggins GBRGRM 2009 + 21"6Joost Posthuma NEDRAB 2009 + 21"7Vincenzo Nibali ITALIQ 2009b + 23"8Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 + 23"9Maarten Tjallingii NEDRAB 2009 + 24"10Nikolas Maes BELTSV 2009 + 24" Stage 3 21 August 2009 - Niel (Belgium) to Hasselt (Belgium), 158.3 km This course is similar in profile to the one previous, bumpy but without any imposing rises in elevation.Enecotour parcours Retrieved 15 December 2022 A breakaway formed 39 km into this stage, with Romain Villa, Niki Terpstra, and Albert Timmer the escapees. Their maximum advantage was about three minutes before the Quick Step and Garmin Slipstream-led peloton set to reeling them in. Timmer and Terpstra eventually dropped Villa after repeated attacks and counterattacks, but the peloton was all one with 6 km left to ride. LIQ 2009b yes was the first team to try to deploy their leadout train, working for Francesco Chicchi, but they were quickly overwhelmed by Garmin, Quick Step, and Team Columbia-HTC. Edvald Boasson Hagen attacked within the final kilometer, on the last turn before the finish, but the mass sprint took him back in. The first across the line was Belgian national champion Tom Boonen, gaining his first victory with that jersey on his shoulders.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-4/results Eneco Tour: Stage 3, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-22 https://web.archive.org/web/20090823155546/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-4/results 2009-08-23 dead Stage 3 Result CyclistTeamTime1Tom Boonen BELQST 2009 3h 43' 19"2Tyler Farrar USA20px|Farrar finished the stage while wearing the white jersey as general classification leaderGRM 2009 s.t.3Francesco Chicchi ITALIQ 2009b s.t.4José Joaquín Rojas ESPGCE 2009 s.t.5Alexei Markov RUSKAT 2009 s.t.6Matthew Goss AUSSAX 2009 s.t.7Mark Renshaw AUSTHR 2009b s.t.8Baden Cooke AUSVAC 2009 s.t.9Robert Wagner GERSKS 2009 s.t.10Alexandre Usov BLRCOF 2009 s.t.General Classification after Stage 3 CyclistTeamTime1Tyler Farrar USA20px|Farrar retained the white jersey as general classification leader after this stageGRM 2009 12h 24' 22"2Tom Boonen BELQST 2009 + 10"3Edvald Boasson Hagen NORTHR 2009b + 19"4Sylvain Chavanel FRAQST 2009 + 25"5Bradley Wiggins GBRGRM 2009 + 27"6Joost Posthuma NEDRAB 2009 + 27"7Vincenzo Nibali ITALIQ 2009b + 29"8Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 + 29"9Maarten Tjallingii NEDRAB 2009 + 30"10Nikolas Maes BELTSV 2009 + 30" Stage 4 22 August 2009 - Hasselt (Belgium) to Libramont (Belgium), 221.2 km This is the Eneco Tour's longest stage, and it is the only one with any real heights to speak of.

At the 60 km mark, Damien Gaudin broke away and was the lone leader for a time before being joined by Reinier Honig and Niki Terpstra. Their maximum advantage over the peloton came at the 90 km mark, an advantage of 7' 45". Garmin-Slipstream and Rabobank drove the peloton to catch the breakaway, and they easily did, with over 50 km left to race. Several further breakaways were attempted, and the pace needed to bring them back combined with the stage's hilly terrain made it so the leading group was for a time only about 30 riders strong. Top contenders Bradley Wiggins, Vincenzo Nibali, and Sylvain Chavanel, among with many others, all tried to break away after the morning's initial escapees were caught, but none ultimately succeeded. A group of 79 was together for a surprising mass sprint finish. Though this was thought to be the first stage that would not end in a field sprint, race leader Tyler Farrar and other sprint specialists like fellow stage winner Tom Boonen never lost contact with the leading peloton. It was initially thought that Edvald Boasson Hagen had won the sprint, but close examination of the photo finish showed that Farrar in fact was the first across the line, for his third stage win of the Tour.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-5/results Eneco Tour: Stage 4, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-22 https://web.archive.org/web/20090824010243/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-5/results 2009-08-24 dead Stage 4 Result CyclistTeamTime1Tyler Farrar USA20px|Farrar finished the stage while wearing the white jersey as general classification leaderGRM 2009 5h 27' 01"2Edvald Boasson Hagen NORTHR 2009b s.t.3Francesco Gavazzi ITALAM 2009 s.t.4Greg Van Avermaet BELSIL 2009 s.t.5Kristof Goddaert BELTSV 2009 s.t.6José Joaquín Rojas ESPGCE 2009 s.t.7Aitor Galdos ESPEUS 2009 s.t.8Roy Sentjens BELSIL 2009 s.t.9Alexandre Usov BLRCOF 2009 s.t.10Lars Bak DENSAX 2009 s.t.General Classification after Stage 4 CyclistTeamTime1Tyler Farrar USA20px|Farrar retained the white jersey as general classification leader after this stageGRM 2009 17h 51' 13"2Tom Boonen BELQST 2009 + 20"3Edvald Boasson Hagen NORTHR 2009b + 23"4Sylvain Chavanel FRAQST 2009 + 35"5Maarten Tjallingii NEDRAB 2009 + 37"6Vincenzo Nibali ITALIQ 2009b + 37"7Bradley Wiggins GBRGRM 2009 + 37"8Joost Posthuma NEDRAB 2009 + 37"9Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 + 39"10Nikolas Maes BELTSV 2009 + 40" Stage 5 23 August 2009 - Roermond (Netherlands) to Sittard (Netherlands), 204.3 km This course is jagged, beginning at near sea level but including a number of rises, with gradients reaching as high as 7.3%. The final 25 km to the finish are either flat or on rises of less than 4% gradient.Enecotour parcours Retrieved 15 December 2022 It is thought of as the Tour's most difficult stage, and it has been called a "little Amstel Gold Race." Two kilometers into the stage, three riders broke clear of the main field. These were Sergio De Lis, David Deroo, and Jens Mouris, and they obtained a maximum advantage of close to 18 minutes, at the 75 km mark. By the 105 km mark, it had fallen all the way to 10 minutes, as the peloton began their chase in earnest and the terrain became difficult for the escapees. A 15-man chase broke clear of the peloton 20 km later, headed by Columbia-HTC, Rabobank, and some other overall contenders. Race leader Tyler Farrar and teammate Bradley Wiggins, who had been thought to be a contender for the race overall, were not in the chase and neither were any of their teammates. Wiggins would end up finishing the stage 10'21" behind the stage winner and dropping well away from contention. The leading groups continued to attack one another and splinter, and by 48 km to go, the original three breakaway riders were brought back into the fold. Thirteen riders were together for the final 20 km circuit in Sittard, and though their advantage continually fell as they neared the line, they finished with a 31-second advantage over the main chase group, that included Farrar. The decisive attack for the stage win came with about 1 km to go. Lars Bak sprinted out of the leading group and went à bloc to survive to the line, saying later that he felt faint for a while after the stage win. Edvald Boasson Hagen assumed the race overall leadership, by 15 seconds over Farrar and Bak.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-6/results Eneco Tour: Stage 5, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-24 https://web.archive.org/web/20090826195500/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-6/results 2009-08-26 dead Stage 5 Result CyclistTeamTime1Lars Bak DENSAX 2009 5h 13' 16"2Edvald Boasson Hagen NORTHR 2009b + 2"3Francesco Gavazzi ITALAM 2009 s.t.4Greg Van Avermaet BELSIL 2009 s.t.5Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 s.t.6Sebastian Langeveld NEDRAB 2009 s.t.7Joost Posthuma NEDRAB 2009 s.t.8Jan Bakelants BELTSV 2009 s.t.9David Deroo FRASKS 2009 s.t.10Jurgen Van Goolen BELSAX 2009 s.t.General Classification after Stage 5 CyclistTeamTime1Edvald Boasson Hagen NOR20px|Boasson Hagen was awarded the white jersey as general classification leader after this stageTHR 2009b 23h 04' 55"2Tyler Farrar USAGRM 2009 + 15"3Lars Bak DENSAX 2009 + 15"4Sylvain Chavanel FRAQST 2009 + 21"5Vincenzo Nibali ITALIQ 2009b + 23"6Joost Posthuma NEDRAB 2009 + 23"7Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 + 25"8Francesco Gavazzi ITALAM 2009 + 28"9Jan Bakelants BELTSV 2009 + 28"10Maxime Monfort BELTHR 2009b + 29" Stage 6 24 August 2009 - Genk (Belgium) to Roermond (Netherlands), 163.3 km This stage was flat.

A three-man breakaway, comprising Rick Flens, Huub Duyn, and Alexander Serov, came clear after 34 km. The peloton kept their advantage under tight control, as it did not extend beyond 90 seconds at any point. The catch easily occurred at the 12 km to go mark. The two Italian teams, LAM 2009 yes and LIQ 2009b yes, drove the peloton in the stage's final kilometers, to try to weaken the field to the advantage of their sprinters. Team Columbia-HTC came forward inside the final kilometer and race leader Edvald Boasson Hagen jumped from an early leadout, just after a right-hand turn in the road, to sprint away to the stage win. Tyler Farrar had been caught off guard, and could not make up the ground to Boasson Hagen, finishing third as the young Norwegian took the stage win. Boasson Hagen, like Farrar before him, expressed his doubts after the stage that he could hold on for the overall win.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-7/results Eneco Tour: Stage 6, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-24 https://web.archive.org/web/20090827094919/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-7/results 2009-08-27 dead Stage 6 Result CyclistTeamTime1Edvald Boasson Hagen NOR20px|Boasson Hagen finished the stage wearing the white jersey as general classification leaderTHR 2009b 3h 28' 58"2Matthew Goss AUSSAX 2009 s.t.3Tyler Farrar USAGRM 2009 s.t.4Graeme Brown AUSRAB 2009 s.t.5Francesco Chicchi ITALIQ 2009b s.t.6Mark Renshaw AUSTHR 2009b s.t.7Baden Cooke AUSVAC 2009 s.t.8Kristof Goddaert BELTSV 2009 s.t.9Angelo Furlan ITALAM 2009 s.t.10Klaas Lodewyck BELTSV 2009 s.t.General Classification after Stage 6 CyclistTeamTime1Edvald Boasson Hagen NOR20px|Boasson Hagen was awarded the white jersey as general classification leader after this stageTHR 2009b 26h 33' 33"2Tyler Farrar USAGRM 2009 + 21"3Lars Bak DENSAX 2009 + 25"4Sylvain Chavanel FRAQST 2009 + 31"5Joost Posthuma NEDRAB 2009 + 33"6Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 + 35"7Francesco Gavazzi ITALAM 2009 + 38"8Jan Bakelants BELTSV 2009 + 38"9Maxime Monfort BELTHR 2009b + 39"10Jurgen Van den Broeck BELSIL 2009 + 42" Stage 7 25 August 2009 - Amersfoort (Netherlands), 13.1 km (ITT) The course for the second time trial is more challenging and technical than the first.

An hour after Rasmussen's ride, Tony Martin and Thomas De Gendt both bettered his time by a few seconds, as rain began to fall. Bradley Wiggins, who had fallen well out of contention on Stage 5 but would figure to be a favorite in any time trial, had the best time at the intermediate time check. He did not, however, finish the course, opting instead to simply pull off shortly after the 5.9 km mark, as the rain continued to fall. The rain caused Joost Posthuma to spin out and crash after a right-hand turn, costing him such time that he fell from fifth on GC all the way to 11th after the stage. Race leader Edvald Boasson Hagen was the last man to take the course and managed to just beat the times set by the Rabobank duo of Sebastian Langeveld and Maarten Tjallingii set shortly before his run to win the stage. Tyler Farrar, who had been in second overall, decided to skip this time trial in order to better concentrate on the Vuelta a España. The win sealed the first-ever stage race victory for Boasson Hagen.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-8/results Eneco Tour: Stage 7, Route Maps & Results Cyclingnews.com 2009-08-25 https://web.archive.org/web/20090828012252/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-upt/stages/stage-8/results 2009-08-28 dead Stage 7 Result CyclistTeamTime1Edvald Boasson Hagen NOR20px|Boasson Hagen finished the stage wearing the white jersey as general classification leaderTHR 2009b 16' 07"2Sebastian Langeveld NEDRAB 2009 + 4"3Maarten Tjallingii NEDRAB 2009 + 5"4Sylvain Chavanel FRAQST 2009 + 14"5Jurgen Van den Broeck BELSIL 2009 + 16"6Maxime Monfort BELTHR 2009b + 19"7Andrey Amador CRCGCE 2009 + 20"8Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 + 23"9Thomas De Gendt BELTSV 2009 + 25"10László Bodrogi FRAKAT 2009 + 27"Final General Classification CyclistTeamTime1Edvald Boasson Hagen NOR20px|Boasson Hagen was awarded the white jersey as general classification leader after this stageTHR 2009b 26h 49' 40"2Sylvain Chavanel FRAQST 2009 + 45"3Sebastian Langeveld NEDRAB 2009 + 47"4Jurgen Van den Broeck BELSIL 2009 + 58"5Maxime Monfort BELTHR 2009b + 58"6Juan Antonio Flecha ESPRAB 2009 + 58"7Lars Bak DENSAX 2009 + 58"8Maarten Tjallingii NEDRAB 2009 + 1' 06"9Jan Bakelants BELTSV 2009 + 1' 12"10Francesco Chicchi ITALIQ 2009b + 1' 22" References External links Race website https://web.archive.org/web/20101122005046/http://enecotour.nl/ 2010-11-22 Eneco Tour Category:Benelux Tour Eneco Tour, 2009 Eneco Eneco
