Belgium, March 30-April 1, 1999

Stage 1, Moeskroen-Zottegem, 173 kms:

Tom Steels won the opening stage of the Driedaagse van De Panne-Koksijde in a sprint from Italian Biagio Conte and Belgian Peter Van Petegem. 197 riders began the first stage in Moeskroen. After one long lap where the riders were watchful the first serious attack came from Collstrop's Wim Vansevenant who went hard on the climb of the Bosberg. He built up a lead of around 3 minutes before the peloton started to take notice. He started to lose ground after the climbs of Berendries and Elverenberg but his long flight rewarded him with enough points to take the leader's jersey in the Mountains Classification.

The peloton had to contend with 3 finishing laps around Zottegem (home of Scott Sunderland!). There was a tough cobbled section in Paddenstraat, and a large group of riders fell as they went through. One of those involved was op de bekende kasseistrook, een pak renners tegen de vlakte Johan Museeuw who suffered a hand injury which was not considered to be serious. There were numerous falls though. In the final sections the pace was very high and the leading group comprised around 40 riders. Belgian Champion Tom Steels gave it everything, in part because he is not riding the Ronde van Vlaanderen next Sunday. His victory ended a 7 year wait for a Belgian stage victory. In 1992 Dirk De Wolf won the opening stage to Hersele and he was the last Belgian to win a stage until today. Steels now starts in the White Leader's Jersey in Stage 2 which takes the peloton from Zottegem to Oostduinkerke a distance of 240 kms.
