Conceived as part of the UCI ProTour in 2005, it was open to the 20 ProTour teams and 5 wildcard teams selected by the organisers. It was held immediately after the Ster Elektro Toer, a four-day race on the UCI Europe Tour.
In early 2008 Eindhoven ended involvement in the event. The UCI said it would be replaced by another to be decided.[1] In 2012, the men's team time trial was introduced at the UCI Road World Championships.
