The 2019 BinckBank Tour - formerly the Eneco Tour - starts on Monday, September 29, for five days of WorldTour racing in the Netherlands and Belgium.

As usual, the race will feature stages suited to sprinters and Classics riders, with a final stage that takes on the iconic Muur van Geraardsbergen.

Last year's winner Laurens De Plus (Jumbo-Visma) is not yet down to defend his title, but the likes of Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix),Philippe Gilbert (Lotto-Soudal), Zdeněk Štybar (Deceuninck-Quick-Step), Oliver Naesen (Ag2r La Mondiale) and Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) are all down to start.

As is the, by the start of the race, former world champion, Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) after not getting a full season in the rainbow bands.

Tim Bonville-Ginn

Hi, I'm one of Cycling Weekly's content writers for the web team responsible for writing stories on racing, tech, updating evergreen pages as well as the weekly email newsletter. Proud Yorkshireman from the UK's answer to Flanders, Calderdale, go check out the cobbled climbs!


I started watching cycling back in 2010, before all the hype around London 2012 and Bradley Wiggins at the Tour de France. In fact, it was Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck's battle in the fog up the Tourmalet on stage 17 of the Tour de France.


It took me a few more years to get into the journalism side of things, but I had a good idea I wanted to get into cycling journalism by the end of year nine at school and started doing voluntary work soon after. This got me a chance to go to the London Six Days, Tour de Yorkshire and the Tour of Britain to name a few before eventually joining Eurosport's online team while I was at uni, where I studied journalism. Eurosport gave me the opportunity to work at the world championships in Harrogate back in the awful weather.


After various bar jobs, I managed to get my way into Cycling Weekly in late February of 2020 where I mostly write about racing and everything around that as it's what I specialise in but don't be surprised to see my name on other news stories.


When not writing stories for the site, I don't really switch off my cycling side as I watch every race that is televised as well as being a rider myself and a regular user of the game Pro Cycling Manager. Maybe too regular.


My bike is a well used Specialized Tarmac SL4 when out on my local roads back in West Yorkshire as well as in northern Hampshire with the hills and mountains being my preferred terrain.
