TheTour of Belgium (Dutch:Ronde van België;French:Tour de Belgique) is a five-daybicycle race which is held annually inBelgium, and is part of theUCI ProSeries.[1]
It was held annually between 1908 and 1981, except during both world wars. Between 1982 and 1990 several races were not organised and none at all from 1991 to 2001. From 2002 onwards the race has again become an annual fixture on the cycling calendar.[2]
Following the start of theUCI ProTour in 2005 it looked like the race would merge with theEneco Tour; however this did not happen and it became part of theUCI Europe Tour competition.
Twelve riders have managed to win the Tour of Belgium more than once. The most successful rider is German riderTony Martin, who won three consecutive editions between2012 and2014.
