The powerful Belgian Bert Roesems (Relax-Bodysol) has taken out this morning's 13 km time trial of the Tour of Belgium in Mechelen. Roesems, a past Belgian champion against the clock, rode a time of 15'51 in windy conditions to beat Bart Voskamp (Chocolade Jacques) and Sylvain Chavanel (Brioches la Boulangère) by two seconds. Chavanel took over the black leader's jersey from Gianluca Bortolami (Lampre), who finished 14th in the TT and slipped to fourth on GC.

"Today I was doubly motivated," said Roesems after the finish. "The stirring up of strife about the prospect of the Olympic Games is increasing. All the more that the riders who start in the time trial in Athens must also be named to the team for the road race. For which reason Peter Van Petegem for instance insists on the presence of Leif Hoste. But to my knowledge Marc Wauters and I stand on the IOC list on the basis of our World Championship last year in Hamilton. Wauters was eighth, I was tenth. I'm now waiting to see what the BIOC and Belgian cycling federation say about that. But I am a man of principles and thus I want Wauters and myself as the first choices. I know that Leif Hoste, Peter Van Petegem, Rik Verbrugghe and among others Jurgen van Goolen have the same ambitions, but I think that it must be judged on sporting criteria...I now wait for a sign from national coach José De Cauwer."

José De Cauwer commented, "We will look at things after the Tour the France. Who will have enough desire for Athens then?"

Other notable performances today came from Sébastien Rosseler (4th at 18 seconds) and Victor Hugo Peña (7th at 25 seconds), who was one of the worst off in yesterday's finishing crash but managed to take the start today and now sits in 5th overall.
