43rd ENECO Ronde van Nederland - 2.1
Netherlands, August 19-23, 2003
Stage 1 - August 19: Middelburg - Rotterdam, 185 km
Petacchi still on form
 |
Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo) demonstrated Tuesday that he hasn't lost the sprinting form that took him to a combined ten stage wins in this year's Giro d'Italia and Tour de France. Petacchi outsprinted Erik Zabel (Telekom) and Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Domo) to take the opening road stage of the ENECO Ronde van Nederland (Tour of Holland). Dutchman Bert Hiemstra of Bankgiroloterij slipped ahead of McEwen to take third place in the general classification thanks to his aggressive riding and the benefit of bonification sprints.
The first break of the Tour was launched by Gert Steegmans en René Andrle after just 7km, but the move was short-lived. An abundance of intermediate sprints kept the race active all day, and it was Hiemstra who escaped alone in a counter attack and later took the first of the bonification sprints in Serooskerke, picking up three seconds in addition to the three of the four daily sprints. Hiemstra was eventually joined in the lead once more by Andrle, Michael Sandstöd, and the indefatigable Ludo Dierckxsens.
By the 98km mark the lead group had a lead of six minutes, but the sprinters' teams quickly decided enough was enough. The quartet stayed clear to pick up the final intermediate sprint, but by the outskirts of Rotterdam the advantage had fallen to little over two minutes. Gerben Löwik tried his hand at a late stage attack, but there was no stopping the peloton now, and Petacchi timed his final surge to perfection, beating the German national champion Zabel and taking the first leader's jersey of the 2003 ENECO Tour.
