Prenderà il via domani l’edizione numero 10 dell’Eneco Tour, gara a tappe che si snoda tra Belgio e Olanda. In questo 2013 sarà la cittadina fiamminga di Koksijde ad ospitare la tappa inaugurale di 175,3 km.
Già dalla seconda frazione non mancheranno le difficoltà con il Kruisberg, che si affronta solitamente nel Giro delle Fiandre. Le tappe 3 e 4 non presentano asperità, quindi spazio ai velocisti. Segue poi una crono individuale di 13,2 km, mentre le scintille si accenderanno nelle ultime due frazioni: la 6ª che presenta la famosissima Côte de la Redoute (simbolo della Liegi-Bastogne-Liegi) da ripetere tre volte e la 7ª con il Geraardsbergen (sempre da affrontare tre volte), che ci riporta nuovamente in clima Fiandre. Saranno sette tappe da seguire con interesse. Eccole nel dettaglio:
Tappa: 1 – 12 Agosto : Koksijde – Ardooie, 175.30 km
Tappa: 2 – 13 Agosto : Ardooie – Vorst, 176.90 km
Tappa: 3 – 14 Agosto : Oosterhout – Schouwen-Duiveland, 187.30 km
Tappa: 4 – 15 Agosto : Essen – Vlijmen, 169.60 km
Tappa: 5 – 16 Agosto : Sittard-Geleen (cronometro individuale), 13.20 km
Tappa: 6 – 17 Agosto : Riemst – La Redoute, 150.00 km
Tappa: 7 – 18 Agosto : Tienen – Geraardsbergen, 208.00 km
