Stage 2 - May 22: Tilburg - Rockanje, 189 km

Report

The start was once again in Tilburg, however it was dry and cloudy. After 47.7 km the first sprint was won by Christian van Dartel (he attacked and had a maximum lead of 2.55", but was caught after 90 km). The average speed in the first 2 hours was 43.15 km/h.

Then, there was an attack by three riders: Marco Battisson, Arjan Ribbers and Wim Omloop, who got a maximum lead of 2.30" before they too, were caught.

The race finished in Rockanje with a few 15 km circuits. Before the finish, the second sprint was won by Arthur Farenhout, in front of Bert Dekker and Lex Nederlof. The bunch were all together for the finish, but a jump by Tom Hoedemakers (Spar-Oki) made him the winner.
