Eijsden - Eijsden, 196 km
The Race: Team Belkin decided to make this race hard, putting riders in the breaks and making the pace when it was needed. A break of seven that included Marc de Maar and Ruib Ruijgh went clear with 30 kilometers to go.
De Maar and Ruijgh were the last of the break to stay away, but even that strong pair was caught with seven kilometers to go.
There were some experienced, speedy riders in the front group, including Davide Rebellin and Sonny Colbrelli, but young Moreno Hofland made Belkin's efforts pay when he delivered the goods in the sprint.
Hofland has already won stages in Paris-Nice and the Ruta del Sol this season.
Winner's average speed: 41.439 km/hr
