Adam Hansen (HTC-Columbia) won the 24th edition of the Ster Elektrotoer on Sunday after Belgian Kris Boeckmans (Topsport Vlaanderen) took the fifth and final stage.

Boeckmans out-kicked Denis Galimzyanov (Katusha) and Andre Greipel (HTC-Columbia) to win the 174km stage between Arcen and Helmond.

Hansen, 29, took the lead after winning stage 4 in Jalhay and was never in danger Sunday. Topsport Vlaanderen teammates Johan Coenen and Thomas de Gendt finished second and third at 15 and 16 seconds, a gap unchanged from Saturday.
