The Race: Tim Wellens delivered an impressive performance today that gave him both the stage win and the overall lead with just one stage remaining in the Eneco Tour.

Wellens was alone and off the front with ten kilometers to go. Though race leader Tom Dumoulin gave a hard chase, Wellens was on song today and crossed the line nearly a minute ahead of Lars Boom. With the winner's 10-second bonification Wellens went from being 49 seconds down to the leader with a seven-second lead over Lars Boom.
