The UCI ProTour Eindhoven Team Time Trial is an annual road bicycle racing event held in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The team time trial is approximately 50 kilometres long and each cycling team has six riders who race against the clock. For the 2006 event, the team size was expanded to eight riders.
Conceived as part of the inaugural UCI ProTour in 2005, it is open to the 20 ProTour teams and 5 wildcard teams selected by the organisers. Eindhoven TTT is held immediately following the Ster Elektro Toer, a 4-day stage race on the UCI Europe Tour.
In early 2008 the city of Eindhoven decided to end their involvement in the organisation of the event. UCI announced that the event would be replaced by a new one to be decided.[1]
