Preview stage 3. 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.
A very explosive hilly stage and one which will be very exciting. Stage 3 of the Benelux race will see the riders in pure Flandrien roads and they will be tackling several of the most famous cobbled climbs, race the traditional circuit of the race and end in Geraardsbergen. The first 75 kilometers of the day are mostly flat and with not much to report, but from there on it's an almost constant roller-coaster of a ride.
