Alejandro Valverde, Paolo Bettini and Philippe Gilbert was also among the riders that tried to make the race. But in the end it all came down to a sprint. Despite his efforts in the race Jakob still managed to becom 6th in the sprint. But the win was a duel between Alejandro Valverde and Tom Boonen. In 2005 Boonen could not loose, and won the sprint and took the rainbow jersey home, home to his green jersey and his cobblestone from the same season.
