Gerolsteiner's David Kopp today scored his first ProTour victory in Belgian Sint-Truiden. The German was fastest in the bunch sprint finish, with Unibet's Marco Zanotti getting second and Phillippe Gilbert (Francaise des Jeux) third respectively.

"Two kilometres before the line, our leader Schumacher told me that I could go for my own sprint today," said a very happy Kopp after the race. "Normally we would have raced for Schumacher so that he could have scored bonus seconds in the sprint - but then he told me that he wasn't going to sprint because his knee hurt him from the crash." With 66 kilometres to go, the bunch suffered a mass crash, which left several riders on the road to abandon.

"I was sitting in perfect position on the wheel of De Jongh and could drop him," Kopp continued. "I felt very strong today."

George Hincapie (Discovery Channel) retained the red jersey of leading GC rider, with Kopp's teammate Schumacher still in second position at only four seconds. "My team made a strong performance, and I hope it will do the same on Wednesday," said Hincapie with a view to the last stage, which will take the riders over many famous Belgian classic climbs. "In any case, it will be exciting! Stefan Schumacher is only four seconds away, and I also count on Quinziato and Flecha (to attack). I hope there will be a breakaway."

The crash earlier in the stage several riders to drop out of the race, amongst them: Olaf Pollack (T-Mobile), Leif Hoste (Discovery Channel), Carlos Da Cruz (Francaise des Jeux), Christophe Edaleine (Credit Agricole) and Toni Colom (Illes Balears).

How it unfolded

Stage six of the second Eneco Tour of Benelux started in Bornem at 11.22, with two riders not taking to the road again: Niko Eeckhout (Chocolade Jacques) and Aurélien Clerc (Phonak) left the race, so a total of 154 cyclists went on the 211 km-long course to Sint-Truiden. Although the stage was going to lead the peloton to the steep Muur of Huy, many riders tried to get away right in the beginning of the stage: especially Nicolas Roche (Cofidis) and Matthé Pronk (Unibet.Com) were very active during the first kilometres.

They attacked right from the start, but even the help of Jan Boven (Rabobank), Lloyd Mondory (Ag2R Prevoyance) and Sebastian Langeveld (Skil-Shimano) did not help and the bunch came back on them. A few clicks later, they tried again, in the company of Michael Schär (Phonak Hearing Systems), Jimmy Engoulvent (Crédit Agricole) and Kenny Van Hummel (Skil-Shimano), but this move was also annihilated after 12 kilometres into the stage.

Finally, at km 20, the break of the day was established: Grégory Rast (Phonak Hearing Systems), Mario Aerts (Davitamon-Lotto), Andoni Aranaga Azkune (Euskaltel) and Sebastian Langeveld (Skil-Shimano) got a good gap as well as the good will of the bunch and left to race in front for the next 190 kilometres.

With Discovery Channel controlling the tempo in the back (best-placed rider in the break was Langeveld with 2.12 minutes behind Hincapie), the breakaway extended their lead to a maximum of 5.15 minutes just before the Muur of Huy, then got very progressively reeled in again.

The mass crash at km 145 tore the bunch apart, but all remaining riders were back to one chasing peloton soon after. The advantage of the leading riders was still about three minutes with 40 kms to go, so a bunch sprint finish seemed likely. Belgian Johan Coenen (Unibet.com) tried to counter-attack with 20 kms to go, but didn't stand a chance in the fast finale - even if Tom Boonen's team Quickstep wasn't the one doing the work in front. Indeed, World champion Tom Boonen did not sprint in the finale.

The breakaway was caught with only two kilometres to go, and Unibet's Jeremy Hunt could not prevent a bunch sprint finish, either, getting caught with 800 metres to go. After one final tight curve just 400 metres away from the finish, the road opened up to the fast men, with Kopp coming out victorious.
