KBC Driedaagse van De Panne - Koksijde - 2.2Belgium, April 3-5, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 3b - April 5: De Panne 14 km ITTMattan triumphs in De PanneBy Jeff Jones
Belgian Nico Mattan (Cofidis) has won the 2001 edition of the Driedaagse van de Panne, which finished with a 14 kilometre time trial around De Panne today. Mattan beat US Postal's Levi Leipheimer in the TT by 4 seconds in wet, slippery conditions, with Rabobank's Erik Dekker placing third. This was enough to give Mattan the overall win, with Dekker second and defending champion Vjatcheslav Ekimov third. At the beginning of the stage, there were only 21 riders with any sort of a chance at winning i.e. within 29 seconds of race leader Hans de Clercq. The conditions on the coast had once again changed for the worse, and the riders had to negotiate a tricky 14 kilometre circuit that included plenty of slippery cobbles, train-tracks and corners. Although not in the running for the GC, US Postal's Levi Leipheimer turned on the gas to post the quickest time out of the early competitors, clocking 17.46. His time was looking quite good, as each of the final 20 riders came across the finish line. His teammates Vjatcheslav Ekimov, Christian Vandevelde and George Hincapie all posted good times as well, putting them in the top 10. However, it wasn't to be Ekimov's day, as Erik Dekker came through with a 17.48, putting him in the race lead with a handful of riders remaining. Although race leader Hans de Clercq couldn't finish higher than 30th, Cofidis TT specialist Nico Mattan was having a great day. He led at all of the intermediate time checks, eventually finishing with 17.42, 4 seconds faster than Leipheimer and 6 seconds better than Dekker. This win gave him his best result of the season, and he has improved considerably since Paris-Nice. He will be one of Cofidis' top leaders at the Ronde van Vlaanderen on Sunday.
