The first stage of the Boels Rental Ladies Tour was a time trial of 10.1 km (6.3 mi) over the dike between Varik and Tiel. The course was flat but there was head wind during the race.

World Time Trial Champion Ellen van Dijk (Boels–Dolmans) won the time trial 12 seconds ahead of Lisa Brennauer and 24 seconds ahead of Trixi Worrack (both Specialized–lululemon).[3] Van Dijk said after the race that the time trial was very hard and she started a bit too fast. Furthermore, she said that she was very happy with the victory. She invested a lot of time in the time trial the last period and was pleased that after several second places in time trials this year she now took home the victory.[4]
