Sebastien Rosseler of Quick.Step-Inngetic was the fastest around the time trial course of the closing stage of the Eneco Tour, but Jose Ivan Gutierrez of Caisse d'Epargne was only two seconds behind him and was able to parley that into the overall victory. Former leader Thomas Dekker finished in 21st place and dropped to fifth in the final general classification.

Rosseler, Gutierrez and Gustav Erik Larsson of Unibet.com were the only three to break the 37 minute mark in the 29.6 km course around Sittard-Geleen, and they finished the stage in that order. David Millar of Saunier Duval, who had been a favorite for the day, came in fourth, at 37'01", 11 seconds back.

Gutierrez' quickness propelled him from second place, four seconds behind Dekker in the GC, to first place, 11 seconds ahead of Millar, who moved up from third to second. Larsson moved into third place and Leif Hoste of Predictor-Lotto was fourth with Dekker in fifth.

"I am really surprised," said Roesseler. "I had really not expected to win today. I had a good feeling on my bike, but that I would ride the best time ... no, I have been really surprised."

"I am very happy with this win, for myself and for my team," Gutierrez said. "This is a ProTour race with much prestige. Earlier this year I won the Mediterranean Tour. I am sitting at the peak of my career."

Dekker was still suffering the after-effects of the previous day's crash, as well as continued hip problems which will keep him out of the World's time trial race. "I knew beforehand that it would be very difficult. And my crash yesterday just make it worse."

The points jersey went to Mark Cavendish of Team T-Mobile.

Raul Garcia Alarcon (Saunier Duval) was the first to ride down the starting ramp in the time trial which closed out the Eneco Tour. He was followed shortly by Michiel Elijzen of Cofidis, who won the opening prologue and was first to wear the leader's jersey, but has since dropped to 131st. He wouldn't repeat his time trial success here, though, coming in at 39'18" Rick Flens of Rabobank quickly set a best time of 38'23", and also held the best intermediate time of 20'03" at the 14.6-kilometre mark.

Five riders had chosen to sit out the last stage: Markus Zberg and David Kopp of Gerolsteiner, Robbie McEwen and Fred Rodriguez (Predictor-Lotto), and Jose Benitez of Saunier Duval.

Servais Knaven apparently had overcome his injuries from yesterday's mass crash, and set a new time of 38'22", exactly one second faster than Flens.The Dutchman didn't get to enjoy his lead for long, though. Raivis Belohvosciks of Saunier Duval blasted through in a time of 37'19", over a whole minute faster than Knaven. But the Latvian also could enjoy the hot chair as leader (and guarded by the chaperones) only for a little more than half an hour as Manuel Quinziato of Liquigas came in nine seconds faster, at 37'10".

And another half hour after that, the best time was smashed again, as Sébastien Rosseler (Quick.Step-Innergetic) powered over the finish line in 36'50", the first rider to break the 37-minute barrier.

The last two riders to take off, José Iván Gutiérrez and Thomas Dekker shared a common problem in the time trial -- their long brown curls escaped from under the aerodynamic helmets. How much would that slow them down? None of the final three -- David Millar, Gutiérrez and Dekker -- could approach Rosseler's time at the intermediate timing. Dekker was uncharacteristically slow underway.

Millar came in at 37'01"90, giving him third on the stage at that point. As Gutierrez approached the line he got out of the saddle to get the maximum power. But to no avail, with the face grimacing in pain he sprinted in, a mere 1"86 seconds slower than Rosseler, with a time of 36'52"03, but he did get ahead of Millar.

Dekker couldn't do it today, finishing 21st in a time of 38'11"52, dropping him to fifth overall and giving Gutiérrez the overall victory ahead of Millar and Larsson.
