Stage 6 - August 23: Sittard-Geleen - Landgraaf , 214 km
Ekimov hangs tough to win RVN
McGee claims final stage in Landgraaf
 |
The seemingly ageless Russian, Viatcheslav Ekimov (US Postal-Berry Floor) has won the overall classification of the ENECO Ronde van Nederland, managing to do what his teammate Victor Peña couldn't last year. Ekimov finished sixth in the final stage from Sittard to Landgraaf, conceding no time to his GC rivals, thus securing the race. The winner on the day was Australian Brad McGee (FDJeux.com), who led Oscar Freire (Rabobank) and Xavier Florencio (ONCE) home in a six man sprint. McGee's efforts moved him up to second overall, but he needed another 25 seconds to catch Ekimov.
The final stage saw 99 riders take the start in Sittard-Geleen, with 214 km of hilly racing in Limburg (where the Amstel Gold Race is run) in front of them. The first real attack was made after 11 km by Wilfried Cretskens (Quick.Step), Koos Moerenhout (Lotto-Domo), Cristoph van Kleinsorgen (Team Bianchi) and René Andrle (ONCE), with the quartet managing to build a lead of 3'50 after two hours of racing. The pace had already taken its toll on the peloton, with 35 riders eventually abandoning.
A counter attack by Guido Trenti (Fassa Bortolo), Angel Castresana and Rafael Diaz Justo (ONCE) got within 1'05 of the four leaders, but they found it hard to close the gap. They did in the end with 65 km to go, to form a leading group of seven riders with three ONCE's. Meanwhile, Oscar Freire crashed, but was able to come back to the peloton.
After 160 km of racing, the gap between the peloton and the seven leaders was just a minute. They were eventually caught after a series of attacks in the peloton increased the speed. Just before the bonus sprint on the Gulpenerberg, the peloton came back together but it wasn't for long as Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) launched an attack on the climb. He was chased by Serguei Gontchar (De Nardi) and Viatcheslav Ekimov himself, and the break didn't survive.

After a counter attack by Giordani, Tankink, Rodriguez and Florencio was brought back, the decisive break went after 195 km. Michael Boogerd, Ekimov and Gontchar were involved again, along with McGee, Florencio and Oscar Freire. Last year's winner Kim Kirchen (Fassa Bortolo) tried to get across to them but failed, and the six stayed away to contest the finale.
McGee won the final bonus sprint at Huls with 14 km to go, then managed to hold off Oscar Freire to win the final sprint, gaining enough time on the next group to move into second overall. But the big winner on the day was Slava Ekimov, who was strong enough to go with the dangerous moves and thoroughly deserved the orange leader's jersey.
In the other classifications, Erik Zabel (Telekom) won the points jersey, Bert Hiemstra (BankGiroLoterij) the sprints jersey and Fabian Cancellara (Fassa Bortolo) the young rider's jersey.
