Blanco Pro Cycling won their second straight stage at the Ster ZLM Toer as Theo Bos parlayed his sprinting speed into stage victory today from a select group of 25 riders. The 29-year-old Dutchman claimed his sixth win of the season ahead of Andre Greipel (Lotto Belisol) and Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) while Blanco teammate Robert Wagner, winner of the first stage time trial, retained his leader's jersey with his 15th place finish in the front group.

Bos was particularly proud of his victory as he outkicked the cream of the WorldTour sprinters in Greipel, Cavendish and Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano). "It's always cool to best that class of rider but to top them all at the same time is really a kick," said Bos. "This is the first time that has happened although I've beaten them individually in the past.

"I was in the right place at the right time. I was behind Kittel, Greipel and Cavendish in fourth and made my move with 300 metres to go. It was fantastic to see that no one could get ahead of me."

A five-man break escaped early, comprised of Steven Lammertink and Rens Te Stroet (Cyclingteam Jo Piels), Bart Van Haaren (Koga Cycling Team), plus Jurriën Bosters and Dries Hollanders (Metec-TKH Continental Cyclingteam). Crosswinds buffeted the peloton, splitting the field and creating an elite first chase group which eventually made contact with the break.

The lead group initially contained 34 riders which was whittled down to 25 approaching the race finale. Blanco, Lotto Belisol, Argos-Shimano, Garmin-Sharp and Omega Pharma-QuickStep were all well-represented with multiple riders each at the head of the race.

Lars Boom (Blanco) and Jurgen Roelandts (Lotto Belisol) went out on the attack inside five kilometres to go, but Argos-Shimano, working for their sprinter Marcel Kittel, neutralised the escape approaching the flamme rouge.

Most of the Ster ZLM Toer's sprint heavyweights made the selection in the opening road stage, with Bos prevailing for the win in Breda.

Peter Hymas

Based in the southeastern United States, Peter produces race coverage for all disciplines, edits news and writes features. The New Jersey native has 30 years of road racing and cyclo-cross experience, starting in the early 1980s as a Junior in the days of toe clips and leather hairnets. Over the years he's had the good fortune to race throughout the United States and has competed in national championships for both road and 'cross in the Junior and Masters categories. The passion for cycling started young, as before he switched to the road Peter's mission in life was catching big air on his BMX bike.
