Baldato wins contentious stage

Peloton says 'no go' over the Kemmelberg

After over two hours of deliberation by the jury following the second stage, Italian Fabio Baldato (Alessio) has been declared the winner of the Zottegem - Koksijde leg of the Driedaagse van De Panne. Baldato was clearly the fastest rider in the bunch sprint, finishing several lengths ahead of Gerben Löwik (BankGiroLoterij) and Jimmy Casper (FDJeux.com) after a frenetic final 500 metres. The race lead stayed with Gianluca Bortolami (Caldirola-Sidermec), although Bart Voskamp (BankGiroLoterij) picked up a time bonus second today, and is probably the biggest favourite for the overall victory after tomorrow's time trial.

The cause of the jury deliberation was nothing to do with the sprint, rather it was what happened 111 kilometres previously when the peloton came to the foot of the Kemmelberg. At that stage, there were three leaders in the race: Kristof Trouvé (Palmans), James Vanlandschoot (Vlaanderen-T Interim) and Daniel Becke (Coast), who had more than a five minute gap to the peloton. The trio crossed the Kemmelberg in the cold rain and strong winds, that lashed the riders intermittently all day long. But the peloton came to a halt at the foot of the climb and refused to go over it.

Last year, in dry conditions, the steep, cobbled descent claimed as crash victims (among others) Andrei Tchmil, Chris Peers, and yes, Kristof Trouvé, who probably exorcised a demon on the climb today. Behind him, Fabio Baldato went up to the race director's car twice and asked him not to send the big group over the feared climb. This was not a new request, as before the stage started the peloton agreed to go over the Kemmel if the organisers reduced the local laps at the end: "Let us go over the Kemmel and then straight on to the finish; or eliminate the Kemmel and then we are OK to do a few local laps."

Not only was the weather quite bad, a crash early in the race had already shaken the peloton, forcing the withdrawal of Dave Bruylandts and Steven De Neef later. Also, there was the fact that race director Bernard Vandekerckhove had called Chris Peers a "cry-baby" because Peers had expressed his concerns about riding the dangerous climb and descent in bad weather. "Do people have to get killed first?" Peers had asked. Vandekerckhove's comments upset a lot of people in the peloton, and this resulted in them refusing to ride over it.

Vandekerckhove commented from the race director's car, "I am not happy at all with this. I think it is a real pity that suddenly they refuse to go over the Kemmel. They have been going over it for 50 years. If Cofidis wanted to show its solidarity that's OK. But Chris Peers is always nagging about stuff. I don't know what the commissaires are going to decide. Normally, according to the rules, the peloton has to be taken out of the race. I have held back the peloton four and a half minutes. It's not fair towards the three leaders because they have the Kemmel in their legs."

According to race rules, the peloton should have been stopped for as much as 10 minutes as a penalty for not going over the climb. However that was not the case today, and it resulted in a good deal of confusion after the stage had finished. Once the main part of the bunch got going again, Caldirola-Sidermec (Bortolami's team) and BankGiroLoterij (Voskamp's team) rode a steady tempo at the front to give the three leaders more of a chance. However it was inevitable that they would be caught after battling the wind all day, and with 28 km to go the bunch was together again.

After that, the pace began to increase in anticipation of a bunch sprint, with Landbouwkrediet-Colnago trying to set something up for Yuri Mitlushenko, as their main man Tom Steels had already abandoned by this stage. With 5 km to go, the Fassa Bortolo train took over, trying to lead out Marco Zanotti or Guido Trenti. They managed to split the bunch in the crosswinds by riding on the bike path on the left hand side of the road, and many riders lost a handful of seconds.

Matteo Tossato did a huge turn up to the 1 km to go banner, but the two Fassa riders behind him were unable to carry the momentum to the line. The sprint was chaotic as a Saeco train tried to get Dario Pieri across first, while the other sprinters tried to pick the best line to the finish. Eventually it was Baldato who found a way through on the right hand side, crossing to win by metres in front of Löwik and Casper.

Baldato was declared the winner of the stage on the podium, but the jury then considered what would have happened if they applied a 10 minute penalty at the Kemmelberg. If that had been the case, then Daniel Becke (Team Coast) would have won the stage as he came across the line before Trouvé and Vanlandschoot. However Vanlandschoot remarked to Belgian TV that he sat for most of the day on his and Trouvé's and wheels, and thus wouldn't have been a popular winner!

The Driedaagse van De Panne will conclude tomorrow with a 110 km stage around De Panne in the morning, followed by the deciding 13.7 km time trial in the afternoon. At the moment, Bart Voskamp in second place looks to have the edge on the competition, as he can lose 45 seconds to most of the peloton and still win, providing he beats Bortolami.
