Christophe Laporte became the first winner of the newly revived Tour of Holland on Sunday, after an incident-free ride through the final, largely flat stage, won with a spellbinding late attack by sprinter Danny van Poppel.
The leader since Saturday's summit finish on the VAM-Berg climb, Laporte's victory rounds out a season that was seriously blighted by illness in its first half, but which could not end on a higher note.
