The result was that after 20 of the 60 kilometers to ride, driving around with three groups of one minute each time differences.

Crispijn Ariëns knew from group three to escape the attention of sprinters Karlo Timmerman and Gary Hekman and drove in a line to the second group, which now also Koen Verwey had fallen. But now living in Wolvega Ariëns understood that he not had to drive to the finish Verwey and at the moment in front of the group rode a devastating démarrage. It seemed then as at the national championships in Otterlo, Verwey was alone now, instead of Berga, a victim of the dynamism of Crispijn Ariëns. Koen Verwey put out all the stops, but did not have to identify and eventually fell back into the peloton.

The five, from five different teams, has worked well together and finally almost a lap lead on the peloton caught. Sat Ariëns now back in a hard pack with the sprinters, Mesu, van Loon and Groeneveld.

Rob Hadders, however, brought results. He too did not feel like a sprint, and five remained in the final stage main body of cyclists until he was gone. Ariëns could jump to Hadders and slammed them together for the last time on the Bosberg. Hadders that it had to take the sprint was no damage to such a superior Ariëns. He was very satisfied with the creditable second place. Mesu won the sprint for third place for Van Loon and Groeneveld.

William Hut decided a solo of almost 30 km with six special place was the tenth in marathon skater Douwe de Vries. He and Martijn van Es were both on the road again and show cases a revelation in the skate pack with this kind of heavy competition.
