GP E3 Harelbeke - Cat. 1.1Belgium, March 25, 20001999 results Results Past winners Start List The chips are upRussian rider Serguei Ivanov (Farm Frites) won today's Flemish semi-classic, the GP E3 Harelbeke after a solo attack with 14 kilometers to go paid off. He beat home compatriots Geert Van Bondt (Farm Frites) and Chris Peers (Cofidis) by 55 seconds at the end of 209 kilometers. Farm Frites were strong enough to place Peter Van Petegem in 6th, and Andreas Klier in 10th boding well for the team that has suffered some loss of face this week. The E3 classic is the most apporopriate dress rehearsals for the Ronde van Vlaanderen, which takes place next Saturday. The parcours is similar, although shorter but many of the climbs are tackled. The race is similar, being one of attrition as the cobbles, wind and climbs tend to decimate the bunch. 15 riders were in contention at the finish, but it was Ivanov who took advantage of his team's strong presence to launch his attack. He described it afterwards as "my most beautiful victory. I am very happy, as my team rode a fine race." Frank Vandenbroucke wasn't the only sick person before the start of the race, Mapei's Johan Museeuw and Michele Bartoli were also suffering from colds, although they started nonetheless. Also before the start, Andrei Tchmil and Jo Planckaert met each other for the first time since their "fight" on Wednesday. Planckaert walked up to Tchmil - with a smile, but with a wagging finger and started to talk. However the organisers, fearing an incident asked Planckaert to go back to his place to sign on.
