KBC Driedaagse van De Panne - Koksijde - 2.2Belgium, April 3-5, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 3a - April 5: De Panne - De Panne 114 kmKlemencic wins, Lotto maintain controlBy Jeff Jones
Slovenian Zoran Klemencic (Tacconi Sport) has won the second last stage of the Driedaagse de Panne, a 114 kilometre leg that started and finished in De Panne. On the cobbled finish, Klemencic outsprinted Mapei's Paolo Bettini and Rabobank's Matthe Pronk, with the majority of the riders finishing in the leading group. The stage was held in better conditions that yesterday, with clear skies and less wind. Lotto controlled the peloton for most of the day, and things generally kept together. With 25 kilometres to go, Ludo Dierckxsens (Lampre-Daikin) tried the same move as Hans de Clercq did yesterday. However, he was not able to gain more than 10 seconds with the whole Lotto team driving the front of the bunch. After Dierckxsens was caught with 14 kilometres to go, the speed lifted and there were several counter-attacks. Erik Dekker was fairly prominent in these, but all of them failed. In the final kilometre, all the sprinters were up there but the finish was a little tricky. A sharp corner with 300m to go and cobbles all the way to the end meant that it was a battle to see who could get to the corner first. Zoran Klemencic was right up there, and pushed his advantage until the end to win the stage. Paolo Bettini (Mapei) took second just in front of Matthe Pronk (Rabobank) and stage 1 winner, Danilo Hondo (Telekom) in fourth. "It was a sprint to get to the last corner. With one lap to go, I said 'I must arrive in the first three' before the corner," said Klemencic afterwards. "There were cobbles at times, and the group split into two, so it wasn't an easy stage." Lotto's Hans de Clercq keeps his leader's jersey going into this afternoon's 14 kilometre time trial in De Panne which will decided the overall classification.
