Bradley Wiggins (Garmin-Slipstream) won the final stage of the Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde, a 14.75-kilometre time trial, in the coastal town of De Panne with the comfortable margin of 20 seconds over Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil). Last year's Ronde winner Stijn Devolder (Quick Step) finished in third.

It was Frederik Willems (Liquigas), however, who raised his arms in a victory salute after crossing the line. The Belgian held off the challenge of defending champion Joost Posthuma (Rabobank) to win the overall in a confusing scenario.

"I was told that Posthuma's time was adjusted by a dozen seconds and I knew going into the last kilometre that I had won it," an overjoyed Willems said. He was greeted by his wife immediately after rolling out from his effort.

Posthuma was initially 51 seconds behind Willems on general classification, but his time was later changed by the jury to a gap of 1:03 following stage 3a. Wiggins' time was 18:01.72 for an average speed of 49.121 km/h. Willems rode the time trial in 19:20, while Posthuma crossed the line in 18:35. Posthuma gained 45 seconds, which still wouldn't have been enough to make up even the 51-second gap.

For Willems there was only the bitter taste of Pozzato not racing. "That was a pity," Willems said, but he understood that Pozzato was concentrating on Sunday's Ronde van Vlaanderen.

Wiggins had to come back from the hotel to receive the winner's prize, with the race going well for him. "It was windy but it went OK. I am very pleased with the result," he told Cyclingnews. Wiggins said the course was really good for him. "There were quite a few corners and windy parts, with tailwind and headwind sections, so you really had to judge your effort."

Wiggins said he went into the race with his winning mode on. "I was second in Paris-Nice, second in the Critérium International, so I knew I had good form. This one was even better for me, a good distance and flat."

High stakes for Willems

The scenario was clear for Willems. He had a gap of 29 seconds over Filippo Pozzato (Katusha), who didn't start the time trial. His main opponent was going to be Joost Posthuma (Rabobank), who was in seventh, 51 seconds back. Posthuma turned the race around last year by around half a minute and he gained more on Willems this time. But that was only good enough for second place overall, time adjustments or not. Posthuma's teammate Tom Leezer finished third overall.

Cavendish, who won the morning stage, took out the points classification easily by 12 points over Willems.

Dieter Capelle (Palmans-Cras) received the climber's jersey in a roundabout way. Michele Merlo (Barloworld) abandoned the morning's stage and Pozzato didn't start in the afternoon, moving him from third to first.

The intermediate sprints classification went to Polish rider Marcin Sapa (Lampre-NGC), who accumulated most of his points in the break in stage 2.

Liquigas won the teams classification ahead of Silence-Lotto.
