Cooke increases lead, but Zanotti gets the stage
By Jeff Jones
Baden Cooke (FDJeux.com) has increased his lead to 10 seconds over his nearest rival Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner) after placing second in the third stage of the Driedaagse van de Panne. Cooke finished a few metres behind Marco Zanotti (Vini Caldirola), who had surprised everyone by attacking out of the last corner to win. Third place went to Tom Boonen (Quick.Step-Davitamon), who expended a lot of energy earlier in the stage after being caught in the second peloton.
Cooke, who in three stages has finished second twice and first once, wasn't overjoyed at being beaten today. "You're always disappointed when you come second," he told VRT TV. "I think I maybe could have won today, but it was a very good display of teamwork by Vini Caldirola. I wasn't quick enough to realise what they were doing [when they let a gap open up]. I thought they were leading him out for the sprint. By the time I realised, I couldn't catch him.
"I wasn't feeling very good this morning and my legs weren't as good as yesterday, but to get another four seconds is good. My aim is to be in the top 10 overall or the top five if I go really well in the time trial."
How it unfolded
The riders started from De Panne at 9:00am this morning with just 116 km of racing ahead of them, prior to this afternoon's 13.7 km time trial in De Panne. The stage was not particularly easy, with the climbs of Monteberg, Rodeberg and Vidaigneberg all occurring before the halfway mark. There was also the wind, which wasn't blowing strongly today, but it was enough to cause splits in the peloton.
An early break by none other than Jacky Durand (Landbouwkrediet-Colnago) gained momentum when he was joined by two Bodysol-Brustor riders, Johan Vansummeren and Sébastien Rosseler. The trio tried hard to stay out in front, but the peloton never gave them enough of a lead for it to succeed. Baden Cooke's FDJeux.com team did a lot of work at the front, helped by Rabobank, and the break was pegged at 40 seconds with 30 km to go.
Gradually the gap came down on the run in to De Panne, and the trio was finally recaptured at 19 km to go. But the high tempo and the wind had already split the peloton into a couple of groups at this point, and Tom Boonen, helped by a few of his Quick.Step-Davitamon teammates, was trying hard to regain the front. Peter van Petegem (Lotto-Domo) was also caught behind the split, but he didn't seem too concerned, as his thoughts are ever on Sunday.
With 12 km to go, Erwin Thijs (MrBookmaker) and Bart Dockx (Bodysol) tried an unsuccessful attack, as did Salvatore Commesso (Saeco), who led the peloton across the finish line in De Panne with 9 km to go. Tom Boonen made the juncture with the main peloton at this point, and spent the next kilometres moving up through the field. His teammate Johan Museeuw was looking very strong too, patrolling the front of the peloton and not allowing any escapes.
The race was to the final corner with some 400m to go, and Vini Caldirola managed to put two men in front, including Marco Zanotti. Zanotti rounded the corner and started his sprint straight away, while his teammate let the gap open allowing Zanotti a clear run to the finish. Cooke went after the Italian, but it was too late and he had to settle for second. Tom Boonen finished an impressive third.
