Stage 2, Zottegem - Koksijde/Oostduinkerke, 240 kms:

Italian Ivan Quaranta from the Mobilvetta-Northwave team won the second stage of the Driedaagse van De Panne in a mass sprint from Dutch TVM-Farm Frites rider Jeroen Blijlevens and Switzerland's Markus Zberg. Tom Steels (Mapei-Quick Step) was 10th across the line but held on to the white leader's jersey. He has a 3 second gap on fellow Belgian Peter Van Petegem and 4 seconds on Biagio Conte.

The 240 km stage from Zottegem to Oost-Duinkerke was marked by a long attack by Belgian Glenn D'Hollander, German Robert Lochowski and Frenchman Philippe Gaumont. The three riders attacked at the 58 kms mark. On each of the climbs Gaumont sprinted ahead of his fellow breakaway companions. But each time he then waited and worked with the other two. He took the red climber's jersey from Wim Van Sevenant for his efforts.

At the 150 kms mark Lochowski was dropped. And 15 kms later D'Hollander gave up the move. Meanwhile, Gaumont continued alone until he was caught in Alveringem (km 175). There was another attack at km 199 from Belgian Johan De Geyter but it was to no avail. On the finishing laps, Mapei-Quick Step wound the race up, clearly to keep Steels in the picture. It became obvious that a mass sprint was coming.
