Renewi Tour information
The Renewi Tour returns for a 21st edition in 2026, taking place August 19-23 across the Benelux region that includes Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The stage race started in 2005 as the Tour of Benelux, and over the following years, was rebranded as the Eneco Tour and then the BinckBank Tour as race sponsors changed. After cancellation in 2022, the stage race returned in 2023 as Renewi Tour.
The USA's Bobby Julich was the first winner in 2005, while Belgian Tim Wellens has won the overall title the most, going back-to-back in 2014-2015 and then again in 2023-2024.
From 2008 to 2010, the race was lengthened to eight days of racing, while in other years the event was consistently five or seven days. Since 2023, the Renewi Tour has featured five days of challenging courses.
In 2025, Arnaud De Lie (Lotto) turned his disappointing season around by snagging the overall victory, also winning the final stage ahead of Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
De Lie needed to win the final stage to secure overall victory after starting the day only one second ahead of Van der Poel and losing two at an intermediate sprint.
The young Belgian kept his cool and unleashed his sprint perfectly to win his first WorldTour stage race.
