Preview. With five stages in length, the Renewi Tour from the 23rd to 27th of August has been shortened but is back in the peloton, the World Tour peloton will tackle the roads of the Benelux where the sprinters, classics specialists and time-trialists will be in the spotlight.
The opening stage of the race will be fully within Belgium and is a rather simple day. It is 182 kilometers in length and is pan-flat, a day that will attribute the first leader's jersey. Wind will be a factor in the day as the riders won't be far from the sea and will be riding through vast plains.
