42nd ENECO Ronde van Nederland - 2.1
Netherlands, August 20-24, 2002
Stage 1 - August 20: Utrecht-Leeuwarden, 220.3 km
Zabel on top again
McEwen abandons due to injury
 |
Erik Zabel won the first stage of the ENECO Ronde van Nederland after a totally flat 220 km ride from Utrecht to Leeuwarden. Zabel was the best of the pack in the bunch sprint, beating Phonak's Alexandre Usov and Domo's Jans Koerts, thereby taking the first leader's jersey in the tour.
The stage was marked by a long three man breakaway which started in the first kilometre. Victor Hugo Peña (US Postal), Rik Reinerink (Bankgiroloterij) and Lars Bak (EDS-fakta) worked well together and during the first third of the stage they built a 12'25 lead. The young Dane Bak took the two time bonification sprints along the way and is thus third in the general classification overnight after gaining six seconds (Zabel gained 10, and Usov also six in the finishing sprint).
The trio was largely chased down by the Rabobank and Alessio teams, and all riders were eventually caught after 200 km. By this stage, the peloton was without one of the favourites to win the stage: Robbie McEwen. The Lotto-Adecco rider had abandoned at 125 km, suffering from a thigh injury that has been bothering him since a crash in HEW Cyclassics.
The bunch wound up the speed on the finishing laps for a mass sprint, with Zabel getting the better of Usov and Koerts, showing that he still has his sprinting legs in order after all the post Tour crits.
