Stage 5 - May 25: Born - Rhenoy, 188.6 km

Slow day ends in a win for Zuijderwijk

With a blue sky, some clouds and wind, stage 5 started. But it was a slow one. After 75 km the peloton were 20 minutes behind their slowest schedule, but did manage to increase things by the finish.

The first sprint was won by John Talen from Robin Veen and Wilko Zuijderwijk, and these formed part of a group of 30 that had 9 minutes on the bunch at that point. The big losers today were race leader, Corey Sweet (Hohenfelder) and Denis Heij (MGI) who ended up losing over 22 minutes by the finish after the race really got going. Sweet suffered a puncture whilst with the leaders, but had an agonisingly slow wheel change and, as such, was unable to rejoin the leaders.

In Rhenoy the stage finished with two 10 km laps with the win going to Zuijderwijk (Van Vliet) from Joost Legtenberg (Axa) and Paul Van Schalen (Bankgiroloterij). The new leader is Jan Van Velzen (Bankgiroloterij) who has a 45 second advantage over Zuijderwijk.
