Belgian TT-Man, Rik Verbrugghe, set an early fast time and won the prologue before the rains set in. The Quick-Step rider had the best time 3/4 through the day when dark clouds gathered over Mechelen. By winning the prologue Verbrugghe now is the first race leader of the 2005 Eneco Tour.
Today in Mechelen the riders faced a fast and flat 5.7K prologue. It was a technical course with one sharp corner that tested the skills of the riders. The weather started off cool, in the lower 20's (°C), before an afternoon rain hammered down.
The early starters had Mother Nature on their side. Benoît Joachim (Discovery Channel) was an early leader with a time of 6'47". Shortly after Joachim's time was posted it was to be topped. Former Belgian TT champion, Rik Verbrugghe (Quick-Step), set a time of 6'45". This time ended up holding all day due to the solid result and the rain storm.

Another Disco top time at the finish was Stijn Devolder. The young Belgian will be one to watch over the coming days. Devolder was a winner of the 3 Days of De Panne way back in late March and his style suits this race. Another young name on everyone's lips is Dutchman, Thomas Dekker. The young Rabobank rider, 20 years-old, is the reigning national TT champion and could prove well over the coming week.
It was just as Dekker rolled home when the rain started to come down seriously. The rain was to be the end to any challenges to Rik Verbrugghe's time. Verbrugghe must have been thanking his solid ride and Mother Nature. After the streets were damp none of the top favorites would push the pace. Big hopefuls, like Bobby Julich (Team CSC) and Victor Hugo Peña (Phonak), rode the course at a cautionary pace to avoid any possible incidents.

Tomorrow Verbrugghe will face a fairly flat parcours from Geel to Mierlo, 192K. The stage will cross in to the Netherlands, one of the first of many border crossings. According to local forecasts the riders should face a dry run, on what is likely to be a sprinter's stage.
