Dutchman Erik Dekker won the final overall classification of his home tour, the Ronde van Nederland after finishing safely in the peloton on the final stage from Blerick to Landgraaf. Compatriot Max van Heeswijk (Mapei) won the stage ahead of Fabrizio Guidi (FdJ) and Romans Vainsteins (Vini Caldirola) with Robert Hunter (Lampre) finishing fourth.

It was the South African Hunter's last chance to win overall today, but he needed 13 more seconds in order to do so, and the time bonifications were not enough. Dekker continues to add to a remarkable season and by winning his first major stage race this year.

The last stage was by no means easy at 227 kilometres and Dekker's Rabobank team were made to work for their prize. Near the beginning, a group of seven escaped, including Raivis Belohvosciks who was in the virtual leader's jersey for a while. Rabobank chased hard to reduce the group's advantage, finally catching them to set it up for a bunch sprint.
