Erik Dekker won the final stage and the overall classification in the Guldensporentweedaagse, which finished today in Ichtegem. Dekker made it into the leading group of 12 that formed after the Kemmelberg, and included Johan Museeuw. It did not contain overnight leader Jean-Patrick Nazon, meaning that Dekker was the virtual leader.
With 6 km to go, Museeuw attacked, but he was brought back. A late final attack from Dekker secured him the stage victory and the overall win from Steven Van Malderghem (Landbouwkrediet) and Museeuw.
