La Francaise des Jeux scored a victory in stage one of the Ronde van Nederland after Italian speedster, Fabrizio Guidi beat Max van Heeswijk (Mapei) and Robbie McEwen (Farm Frites) into Utrecht. The stage ended in a mass sprint as 107 of the 109 starters finished in the front group. Erik Dekker of Rabobank kept his lead by just two seconds over Robert Hunter (Lampre), who gained some bonuses on the stage. The stage began in Den Bosch, the town that hosted the prologue and the first hour was a steady 39.4 km/h. The first sprint was won by Lars Teutenberg (Batavus) from Martin Müller (Cologne) and Zoran Klemencic (Vini Caldirola). The second sprint at 45 km went to Stefan van Dijk in front of Teutenberg and Peter Lernout (Palmans). Then there was an important bonification sprint in Den Bosch, and Robbie Hunter won it in front of a large audience watching. Erik Dekker took second though and Servais Knaven third. The second hour was slightly faster at 42.7 km/h. The third sprint (88 km) in Meteren saw Stefan van Dijk and Lars Teutenberg attack to take the prime (Renger Ypenburg took third) and they managed 1'30 after 100 km which grew to a maximum of 2'40 after 120 km. Van Dijk won the fourth sprint ahead of Teutenberg, while Raimondas Vilcinskas (Palmans) managed third at 2'30. The second bonification sprint was after 140.5 km in Utrecht (the first time across the finish line) and it was Lars Teutenberg followed by Stefan van Dijk with thepeloton at 2'10 (led again by Robert Hunter). Rabobank then got their train going and caught the two leaders with 17 kilometres to go. Polti tried to bring Jeroen Blijlevens to the finish but were thwarted by Rabobank who sent Erik Dekker up the road in a solo move. This time, he was unsuccessful and it was left to the rest to fight it out. Guidi was the quickest in the run in to the line. However, there was some trouble between the the other sprinters. Fabrizio Guidi (ex-Polti) won, but behind him... Jeroen Blijlevens (Polti, only 2 victories this season) couldn't sprint until the last moment because Rudie Kemna (Bankgiroloterij) prevented him by holding his shorts. Blijlevens' protest was succesful and Kemna was relegated to last place in the peloton. Kemna didn't see things that way, "The big mouth wins over the honest sprinter. In the sprint I was on the right site of the road. Blijlevens (with McEwen in his wheel) crossed the road to the right side as well. He changed his line, not me. Do I have to wait until he pushed me into the fencing?"
