Stage 3 - April 2: Charleville-Mézières ITT, 8.0 km

Verbrugghe comes through with the goods

Belgian Rik Verbrugghe has taken out the third stage and the overall classification of the 70th Criterium International. The Lotto rider beat Jens Voigt (Credit Agricole) by one second in the final 8 kilometre time trial from Charleville to Mézières, averaging over 46.5 km/h in doing so. Third place went to Mercury's Floyd Landis, who finished 2 seconds behind Vebrugghe.

In winning the overall classification, Verbrugghe won the first and third stages, and took fourth in the second stage. He is the first ever Belgian winner of the event, and capped off a great weekend for the Lotto team after Andrei Tchmil won the GP E3-Harelbeke on Saturday.

In second place overall was Alberto Martinez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), and his team also won the team's classification. The sprinter's points classification went to Verbrugghe, while Jérome Bernard (Jean Delatour) won the mountains and Florent Brard (Festina) the Best Young Rider classifications.
