Stage 3 - August 30: Nijverdal - Denekamp, 83 km

Quaranta sprints to victory in third stage

Ivan Quaranta (Alexia) has become the third sprinter to win a stage in the Ronde van Nederland in three days, as he took the morning's 83 km stage from Nijverdal to Denekamp. Quaranta beat home race leader Stefan Van Dijk (BankGiroLoterij) and Danilo Hondo (Telekom) in the bunch sprint, with Van Dijk keeping his leader's jersey going into this afternoon's time trial.

After a minute's silence for the recently deceased Dutch cycling sponsor, Jan van Erp, the 114 remaining riders set off for the short stage at high speed. The first classification sprint at Den Ham (km 22.2) was won by Rik Reinerink (BankGiroLoterij) from Jan Boven (Rabobank) and Remco van der Ven (Bankgiroloterij).

After the abandonment of Michael Sandstod (CSC) at km 25, a leading group of 12 riders established a gap for just 1 kilometre. The second classification sprint was taken by Van der Ven, from Ludo Dierckxsens (Lampre) and Hendrik van Dijck (Lotto). The all-important bonification sprint at Almelo (45.5 km) was won by Domo's Robbie McEwen, from Hunter (Lampre) and Van Dijk (BankGiroLoterij). This put McEwen and Van Dijk on the same time on GC.

The tempo stayed high for the second half of the stage. A group of 10 riders, including Erik Dekker, Jan Svorada, Viatcheslav Ekimov, Stéphane Barthe, Leon van Bon and Tristan Hoffman managed to get a 25 second gap. They were chased down by BankGiroLoterij and Lotto.

After 58 kilometres, nine riders (Stefan de Jongh, Ludo Dierckxsens, Matteo Frutti, Antonio Cruz, Steffen Wesemann, Rudi Kemna, Paul van Hyfte, Lars Michaelsen and Malted Urban) managed to gain 45 seconds on the peloton, but things came back together once again for the third and final classification sprint at Deurningen (km 65.4). This was won by Lotto's Paul van Hyfte, from Steffen Wesemann and Matteo Frutti.

The entire peloton came together to Denekamp for the stage finish, with the quickest being Ivan Quaranta, who has also been blamed for the big pileup on stage 1. Quaranta was too quick for Van Dijk and Hondo, but the bonus seconds mean that Van Dijk actually extended his lead in the race.

This afternoon there will be a 23 kilometre time trial from Nordhorn to Denekamp, and this should be decisive in determining the winner of this year's Ronde van Nederland.
