BinckBank Tour
The BinckBank Tour is a road bicycle racing stage-race. Its name refers to its main sponsor, the online discount broker BinckBank. It is part of the UCI World Tour. The race was established in 2005 and was originally known as the Eneco Tour, named after the original sponsor. In 2017 the name changed to BinckBank Tour.
History
The Tour of the Netherlands began on 6 May 1948, but only became an annual event in 1975. From about 2000 it was known as the Eneco tour. The start of the UCI's ProTour in 2005 saw the faltering tour reorganised and reinvigorated. From 2017 onwards, the race was known as the BinckBank Tour.Organization
The BinckBank Tour continues the faltering Tour of the Netherlands, which UCI president Hein Verbruggen deemed necessary for marketing reasons. The Dutch Tour organisation got a better sponsor. But because the race was not difficult enough, it could not be accepted into the new ProTour. At that point the organisation sought help from the organisation of the Tour of Belgium and the Tour de Luxembourg. They envisaged a Tour of the Benelux that would replace the three. This led to the Tour of Belgium as a co-organiser. The Tours of Belgium and Luxembourg however continued as such. The co-organisation or incorporation of the Tour de Luxembourg did not materialize, and since its inception the BinckBank Tour has not crossed Luxembourgian territory yet.Jerseys
The colors of the jerseys for the leaders of a classification have changed several times over the years, mostly because of sponsor changes. The most recent change of the leader's jersey occurred in 2017 when the main classification jersey was changed to green as this was the main colour of the new main title sponsor, BinckBank.| Year | General | Points | Mountains | Young | Combativity |
