Stage 3b - March 30:
Zeelane - De Panne, 14,3 km
Ekimov wins finale of
De Panne
34 year old Russian cyclist, Viatcheslav Ekimov (US Postal) demonstrated
that he is once again in form by winning the final stage of the Driedaagse
De Panne, and the overall classification along with it. The 14.3 kilometre
time trial came after the morning's 114 kilometre road stage, won by
Jans Koerts (Farm Frites).
After having made the selection on the first two days, Ekimov was
always going to be a threat and he proved it with an outstanding victory
in the ride against the clock. He beat race leader, Romans Vansteins
(Vini Caldirola) by 17 seconds, which was just enough for him to take
the overall by three seconds. Vainsteins rode extremely well for second
place, but it was not quite enough on the day.
It was the second time that "Slava" has won the race, as he did so
back in 1996. It bodes well for both he and the US Postal team who will
target Ekimov and Hincapie in the coming northern classics. Dylan Casey
will provide strong support for them, and he managed 6th place today.
The conditions for the event were fairly typical by Flemish standards
- rain, wind and cold and they took their toll on several competitors.
Dane Rolf Sørensen (Rabobank) had to withdraw from the race earlier
when he was hit by a motorbike. He sustained a slight calf injury and
decided to rest before Sunday's Ronde van Vlaanderen, as he feels in
top shape at the moment otherwise.
Johan Museeuw, Tom Steels and Frankie Andreu and George Hincapie were
other casualties of crashes - all suffered minor injuries but were not
seriously injured. Museeuw chose not to start this afternoon's time
trial as he has fallen twice in the last few days and has a slight groin
injury. He does, of course intend on signing on on Sunday to try and
gain his 4th Ronde. Hincapie actually fell three times during the race,
but he too will be ready for Sunday.
One man who will be trying to beat them is Farm Frites' Peter van
Petegem who came fourth today, 32 seconds behind Ekimov. He and his
team are focussed on the Ronde and have ridden strongly in the upcoming
races.
