| Team CSC's Bobby Julich has once again impressed the cycling world by winning todays's last stage of the Eneco Tour of Benelux, and thereby moving up from 12th to #1 on general Classification on the last day of the stage race. In the 26 km individual time trial around Etten-Leur in the Netherlands, Julich pulverized the best times by his rivals, finishing 37 seconds faster than Discovery's Leif Hoste, and 45 seconds earlier than Erik Dekker (Rabobank). "I'm particularly happy about this final win," Julich said after the race. "It is a ProTour race, after all! I rode the whole of the course at my own rhythm, becasue I didn't get the intermediate times. It looks like I managed my efforts well, cause I won - the winner's always right." About the whole race, Julich had this to say: "I can't say that this was my favourite race. It was almost flat from one end to the other and there was a lot of wind. At the prologue in Malines, I lost precious seconds as I had started in the rain, but then I began to believe in my chances again. Now, there's the Tour of Germany ahead." http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2005/aug05/eneco05/?id=results/eneco057
