Gutierrez wins on a wet day

José Gutierrez of Caisse d'Epargne defended his win in last year's Eneco Tour by setting the fastest time in the short prologue with a 5'31.9 to secure the first leader's jersey. He nipped Cyril Lemoine of Credit Agricole, who led much of the day and had covered the 4.4 km course in 5'31.98. He was only one second faster that Team Columbia's Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen, who was third at 5.32.
