Prologue in The Hague

Just like in 2025, the Eneco Tour will start at the Sportcampus in Zuiderpark in The Hague.

 

New this year is that both men and women will be at the start of the prologue.

 

There’s plenty for fans to enjoy around the start and finish areas. Think of the cycling festival, checking out the team buses, and seeing all the favorites in action up close. The Eneco Tour is open to everyone; we recommend coming on foot or by bike.

Along the course

Together, we power the Eneco Tour

The Eneco Tour is all about energy – the riders’ energy, the crowd’s energy, and, of course, yours.

Because energy? It really comes alive when we get moving together.

 

So get off that couch, hop on your bike. Cheer your heart out or discover how to use energy more wisely.

In the fan zone, along the course, and on our social media. Some give it their all on the bike, others cheer from the sidelines.

Together, we power the Eneco Tour.

ENECO CHEER ZONE

4:00 p.m. – 9:15 p.m.

Let it all out in the Cheering Zone

Cheering together in the best spot along the course

 

A bike race only really comes alive when the energy poured into it is just as intense. That’s why there’s the Cheering Zone: right next to the course and ready for anyone who’d rather not keep their energy to themselves. Cheer loudly together so the riders pedal even harder. You’ll be right up close to the race, right in the thick of the action. The samba band sets the rhythm; we’ll take care of the vocal cords. And if it’s pouring rain? Then you’ll be under the canopy. Go wild, but stay out of the rain.

The Move

Start: 4:30 p.m.

Powering up together for the Eneco Tour

The Move is already getting things moving

 

The riders haven’t started yet, but the energy certainly has. The Energy Parade is already getting things moving: a fully electric vehicle drives along the course, with a samba band and an MC on board. Wherever the energy needs a little boost, they rally the crowd. A little dance, a clap, a cheer—before you know it, we’re all moving to the beat together. During the stage, the band and MC will reappear in the cheering section. That’s how we’ll fuel the EnecoTour together.

PARK & CHARGE

3:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.

Cycling to the Eneco Tour

A place for your bike – charge it up and hit the road

 

Cycling to the Eneco Tour? Park & Charge has you covered: your bike in the rack, you right in the thick of the race. Together with Fietssport, we’ll provide a spot for your bike, with a separate section for road bikes. Your e-bike can recharge here, too. Charge your battery at the charging wall while you cheer on the riders. The charging wall is connected to solar panels and a battery. After the race, hop back on your bike, with the energy of the Tour in your legs.

Reserve a spot for your bike now.
