Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros - Würth) finally got the win he's been waiting for. It was a deserved win in which the young Aussie fought through rain storms to snatch stage 3 of the Eneco Tour. Rik Verbrugghe (Quick-Step), the prologue winner, reclaimed the leader's red jersey from Max Van Heeswijk (Discovery Channel).

Today's course was set to be a mini Amstel Gold Race, including the weather. Just like this year's Dutch one-day classic, today's stage featured some precarious weather that made the racing even more fierce. Covering 206K, from Beek to Landgraaf, the riders faced an undulating parcours. Covering the famed Dutch climbs: Cauberg (125K to go) Loorberg (89K), Eyserbosweg (47K).

The winner, Allan Davis, came out a group of 13 that formed before the Cauberg. The group had 2'30" on the peloton by the base of the climb, and was the right move to be in, especially given the weather. Members of the move included: Frédéric Guesdon, Koos Moerenhout, Leif Hoste, Allan Davis, Steven De Jongh, Eric Baumann, Michael Blaudzun, Benoît Poilvet, Nicholas Roche, Angelo Furlan, René Andrle, Julien Smink, David Boucher.

Behind in the peloton, it was mostly of Rabobank, Gerolsteiner and Quick-Step doing the work. Max Van Heeswijk had missed the day's move and his overall lead was soon to be over. Up front the group's gap had jumped up to 6'30" by the Loorberg, almost ensuring a day of freedom.

Davis started driving hard at the intermediate sprint, 38K to go. His effort helped whittle the group down to five: Scheirlinckx, Hoste, Davis, Blaudzun and Moerenhout. Scheirlinckx was the unlucky one who fell victim to an untimely puncture. There was no waiting for the Cofidis rider, the race was ON. Michael Blaudzun (Team CSC) was soon shelled in the strong winds and the downpour of rain.

There was a serious chase group coming in range of the leading trio at 20K to go. The group contained many serious threats: Verbrugghe, Lastras, Schmitz, E. Dekker, T. Dekker, Rebellin, Boogerd, Van Petegem, Mertens, Van den Broeck. Allan Davis sensed the immediate danger and jumped his companions. The young-gun put his head down and pointed his bike towards the line in Landgraaf.

Davis was barely beat out in last week's HEW-Cyclassics and today he was not to be outdone. He soloed off the front for five kilometers to snatch the stage victory. It was a beautiful win by the Liberty rider from Ipswich, Australia. Behind, the chase group overhauled Hoste and Blaudzun, and Erik Dekker (Rabobank) lead the charge home for second. Max Van Heeswijk was in the main peloton, floating in 6 minutes behind Davis.
