32 year-old Dutchman Max Van Heeswijk (Discovery Channel) gave the locals something to cheer about as the Benelux tour came to the Netherlands today, outsprinting Marco Zanotti (Liquigas-Bianchi) and Steven De Jongh (Rabobank) in an expected bunch gallop in Mierlo. As a result, Van Heeswijk now leads the inaugural Eneco Tour from yesterday's stage winner and overnight leader Rik Verbrugghe (Quick.Step-Innergetic), who now lies second overall. Carlos Barredo (Liberty Seguras-Würth), Roger Hammond (Discovery Channel) and Stefan Van Dijk (Mr. Bookmaker-Sport Tech) are placed third to fifth on GC, all 11 seconds behind Van Heeswijk.

The 192 kilometre journey began in the town of Geel in Belgium, before traversing across mostly flat countryside as the peloton made its way over the Dutch border to Mierlo. Today's racing featured a two-man breakaway in the form of Rudie Kemna (Shimano-Memory Corp) and Erwin Thijs (Mr. Bookmaker-Sportstech), the two separated by less than a second on the overall classification at the start of the day, in 26th and 27th place respectively. Not surprisingly, with both just 11 seconds off the lead, Kemna found himself as virtual race leader for much of the time he was away, but the Quick.Step-Innergetic team of Verbrugghe never let the break get out of hand.

A group of four riders - Koen De Kort (Liberty Seguros-Würth), Thorwald Veneberg (Rabobank), Jose Cayetano Julia (Illes Balears) and Kemna's team-mate Rik Reinerink - did try and bridge the gap, but the peloton caught the quartet with 37 kilometres remaining. At this stage, Kemna and Thijs held a 40 second advantage, and managed to increase their lead to just over a minute in the following kilometres. However, the sprinters' teams were eager for a win, and with a little over 25 kilometres to go, the likes of Discovery Channel, Rabobank and T-Mobile took up the chase in search for a stage victory.

Entering the first of two finishing circuits in Mierlo, the lead pair were still 38 seconds in front, the multiple roundabouts and narrow roads aiding their chances. But as they passed under the start/finish line for the final time, Kemna and Thijs were swamped by the peloton, giving rise to the inevitable bunch sprint.

T-Mobile appeared well-organised to take Erik Zabel to the line, but his final lead-out man didn't see who was on his wheel until it was much too late, at which point Van Heeswijk (Discovery Channel) began the sprint from around 200 metres out and charged down the right-hand side, taking a comfortable victory over Zanotti (Liquigas-Bianchi) and De Jongh (Rabobank). Giosuè Bonomi (Lampre-Caffita) was fourth while the luckless Zabel rounded up the top five.
