Eindhoven Team Time Trial
The UCI ProTour Eindhoven Team Time Trial was an annual road bicycle race held in Eindhoven, Netherlands. It was approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi). Each team had six riders. In 2006, team size expanded to eight.
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.

“giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

“Time grows dim. Time that was so long
grows short, time, all goggle-eyed,
wiggling her skirts, singing her torch song,
giving the boys a buzz and a ride,
that Nazi Mama with her beer and sauerkraut.
Time, old gal of mine, will soon dim out.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

It’s a new patented electric light,
Put up on trial by that Jerseyite
So much is being now expected of....”
