Always a very nice and entertaining small stage-race. ENECO Tour should learn from this. Maybe actually race in Luxemburg as well...after all it's the "benelux" tour

Whoever wants to pay the money gets a stage finish. Unfortunately its the most boring places in Holland and Belgium that need the exposure.

I think Luxembourg didn't want to be part of ENECO Tour right away so there's little chance of it being visited in the near future at least.

2,7km prologue

Ey, come on. 2,7k, that's half of Luxemburg. If you want a longer prologue, the organizers would have to ask Germany, France or Belgium for permission.
