22nd Ster Elektrotoer - 2.1Netherlands, June 17-21, 2008Main Page Results Overall standings Previous Stage Next Stage Stage 3 - June 19: Verviers - La Gileppe (Jalhay-Belgium), 192kmDouble win for GasparottoEnrico Gasparotto of Team Barloworld won the Queen Stage of the Ster Elektrotoer to also take over the lead in the race. He crossed the finish line one second ahead of Vasil Kiryienka (Tinkoff) and five seconds ahead of Cycle-Collstrop's Matthe Pronk. The race leader since stage one, Tony Martin (High Road), who had the race lead by just eight seconds at the start lost the jersey in a chaotic and aggressive stage finish. The 193 km stage, which took place entirely within Belgium, featured five ranked climbs in the Ardennes. After a nervous start, a foursome finally got away 50 km into the stage. Floris Goesinnen (Skil Shimano), Matthe Pronk (Cycle Collstrop), Bram Schmitz (Van Vliet - EBH Elshof) and Jos Harms (Cyclingteam Jo Piels) took off, building a lead of up to 6'40". Schmitz and Harms were the first to drop off the pace. With 15 km to go, the pace of the peloton was so high that it split into pieces. Gasparotto and Kiryienko were able to break out and join the two remaining leaders. Pronk was able to stay with them, but Goesinnen couldn't keep up the pace. The three went into the last kilometer with a 35 second lead. Kiryienko opened the sprint, but Gasparotto won it.
