Hunter becomes new leader

On a fantastic summer's day in the Netherlands (sunny and 23 degrees) Emanuel Magnien (FDJ), Fabian de Waele (Lotto) and Jan van Velzen (Bankgiroloterij) were the early leaders in the race. They passed the entry to the Mediapark at Hilversum at 12.33, 11 minutes behind schedule. The peloton were being led by almost the entire Rabobank team, including Erik Dekker at 2'10". The three leaders had at first only 15 seconds, but in Hilversum a train crossing barrier was closed after they passed and they gained a maximum of 3'30".

With 90 km to go, there were still three leaders: Van Velzen, Magnien and De Waele and they had 3 minutes. There were a few falls in peloton during the stage, the most important victim being Robbie McEwen, who went to hospital in an ambulance, and it was feared that he had broken his collarbone, however was found not to be the case. The other riders who fell came back to the peloton, including yesterday's stars, Fabrizio Guidi, Stefan van Dijck and Max van Heeswijk.

The flight of the three leaders was a total of 130 km before they were caught and the stage eventually ended in a bunch sprint. This time it was Lampre's Robbie Hunter who snatched the win from Francaise des Jeux' Lars Michaelsen, with Slovenian Zoran Klemencic (Vini Caldirola) taking third.

Hunter, by virtue of bonification sprints, took over the lead from Erik Dekker in the Ronde van Nederland.
