Due to the slot in the calendar for the Olympic Games in 2016, there may be a few changes to the UCI racing calendar. One of those changes is believed to affect the Eneco Tour.

According to a report in Sportwereld, the Eneco Tour will be held between September 19-25, five weeks later than its usual mid-August date. In 2016 the Elite men’s Olympic time trial and road race will take place on August 6 and 10 respectively. 

This would turn the Eneco Tour (a race of three sprints, a time trial and then three Classics-like stages) into a final preparation race for the Worlds Road Race in Qatar.
