The Limburg stage on Friday, October 16, is one of the highlights of the Eneco Tour. After the start at the Tom Dumoulin Bike Park in Sittard, the peloton will ride through the distinctive hilly landscape of South Limburg, with the finish taking place at Watersley Sports & Talent Park.
Not only is the finish spectacular, but there’s plenty for visitors to enjoy all day long. At the start at the Tom Dumoulin Bike Park, events will include a paracycling race, the Dutch Journalists’ Championship, and a fat-tire race.
At Watersley, spectators will get to see the race up close multiple times. The women will pass the finish area three times before crossing the finish line, while the men will make four passes before the finish. In addition, there will be a cycling festival, large screens where you can watch the entire race live, and you can enjoy the unique atmosphere at Watersley Sports & Talent Park.
The Eneco Tour is open to the public. Due to the expected crowds, we advise visitors to walk or bike to Watersley.
