Julich takes final stage and overall win
|
Team CSC's Bobby Julich has once again impressed the cycling world by winning todays's last stage of the Eneco Tour of Benelux, and thereby moving up from 12th to #1 on general Classification on the last day of the stage race. In the 26 km individual time trial around Etten-Leur in the Netherlands, Julich pulverized the best times by his rivals, finishing 37 seconds faster than Discovery's Leif Hoste, and 45 seconds earlier than Erik Dekker (Rabobank).
"I'm particularly happy about this final win," Julich said after the race. "It is a ProTour race, after all! I rode the whole of the course at my own rhythm, becasue I didn't get the intermediate times. It looks like I managed my efforts well, cause I won - the winner's always right.
"I can't say that this was my favourite stage. It was almost flat from one end to the other and there was a lot of wind. At the prologue in Malines, I lost precious seconds as I had started in the rain, but then I began to believe in my chances again. Now, there's the Tour of Germany ahead."
How it unfolded
|
The first time of reference was made by Bert Roesems (32.29), a time which wasn't beaten for almost one hour until Leif Hoste (Discovery) came into the finish 38 seconds faster than his compatriot. Then it was Julich's turn to set the record straight, as he finished put another 37 seconds on the new best time, showing everybody who was the man to beat today.
When the red jersey of leader Rik Verbrugghe left the start ramp, he knew his chances were slim - and he had lost the leader's jersey as soon as the first intermediate time check. Dutch hope Thomas Dekker couldn't change anything to the winner's time after that, and neither could his Rabobank teammate Erik Dekker, who had to be content with a second place on General Classification, although he had initially wanted to win this race. Leif Hoste stepped up onto the final podium for thrid place thanks to his time trialling skills.
