Dutchman Leon Van Bon (Lotto-Domo) won Friday's stage which began in Düsseldorf, Germany and returned to the Netherlands for a finish in Sittard-Geleen. Van Bon, a talented sprinter, changed the menu by attacking and spending more than 180 kilometres in the lead, dispensing of breakaway companion Marc Streel (Lanbouwkrediet-Colnago) and arriving with more than a minute still in hand on the charging peloton. It was a successful repeat of a similar performance earlier this year in Paris-Nice.

The Netherlands not being the most mountainous of countries, a special prize was awarded to Van Bon as he was the first to cross a new high point for the tour: 583 metres at Lammersdorf. Van Bon and Streel worked well together to build a more than nine minute advantage, but the Belgian eventually fell victim to cramping, losing contact with Van Bon in the finale but still hanging on for second place.

Viatcheslav Ekimov (US Postal Service) held onto his overall lead, still nine seconds ahead of Marc Wauters and 12 seconds ahead of Erik Dekker, both of Rabobank. Ekimov's teammate David Zabriskie sits in fourth place and leads the young rider classification.

The day was also marked by the abandon of Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo). Already a stage winner in the tour, Petacchi crashed around the stage's halfway point and injured the same shoulder he injured in the Tour de France. This was Petacchi's re-entry race after recovering from his Tour crash, and already he is out of action again. Initial examinations appeared to rule out any serious damage this time. Other non finishers included Sergei Gonchar (De Nardi), Martin Elmiger (Phonak), and Tim Johnson (Saunier Duval). US Postal's Floyd Landis and T-Mobile's André Korff didn't start the day, both citing illness.
