Stage 2 Etten-Leur - Etten-Leur (14.8km)
The NIBC Tour of Holland also has a second time trial in store for the riders. From Etten-Leur, they will ride a 15-kilometer “chrono” through the Brabant countryside—the same landscape that once inspired Vincent van Gogh to create his paintings.
In the opening kilometers, the riders will quickly leave Etten-Leur behind, heading south onto the polder roads. These are the same roads known from the Dorpenomloop Rucphen: narrow, winding, and at times beautifully wooded.
Halfway through the time trial, the course swings back toward Etten-Leur via the small village of Munnikenheide, right next to the Brabant cycling town of Sint Willebrord. In the final kilometers, the riders return to Etten-Leur, where the finish line is set in the lively city center, surrounded by terraces and historic buildings.
The rider who triumphs here on Thursday will make a serious bid for overall victory in this new race.
