On a cold, windy day in the seaside town of De Panne, the Discovery Channel team finished off a fine performance by placing three riders in the top three in the final time trial of the Driedaagse van De Panne. The winner - of the stage and the overall - was Leif Hoste, who crossed the cobbled finish line in 14'17.99, an exceptional average speed on this course of 48.2 km/h. His teammates George Hincapie (14'31) and Stijn Devolder (14'35) were second and third, with Sebastian Rosseler (Quick.Step) the best non-Discovery rider in fourth at 14'44. Race leader Bernhard Eisel (Française des Jeux) was respectable in 14'51, but it wasn't enough to keep the jersey.

"If you see who finished behind me here, that says enough, I think," was Hoste's first reaction to Sporza after the stage. "Above all, I want to thank my teammates. Chapeau for Viatcheslav Ekimov and George Hincapie. That those riders would ride for me is unbelievable.

Although he targeted De Panne for the win, now Hoste moves up into the favourites' list for Sunday's Ronde Van Vlaanderen. "Yes, but Paris-Roubaix is at least as important for me. Now this is done, I should recover well."

Team manager Dirk Demol was delighted with the win, saying it was a "fantastic result under pressure. the team worked hard for him, so the pressure was on him. It was also good to see Devolder in third, because there was a bit of doubt over him."

For Sunday, Demol has got several riders to choose from, with George Hincapie and Leif Hoste the standouts, and Stijn Devolder able to play a more than useful support role.

How it unfolded

The afternoon time trial was held over a short but difficult 11.5 km parcours between De Panne and Koksijde and back. The wind was still blowing strongly, although the roads were fairly dry. But the riders still had to content with cobbles, tram tracks and plenty of corners.

After Sweden's Gustav Erik Larsson (Française des Jeux) set an early best time of 15'16, a highly motivated Frank Vandenbroucke (Unibet.com) rode an enormous gear to knock 20 seconds off Larsson's time, putting him into the hot seat. "I wanted to have a good go, because I haven't done anything here yet," said VDB. "On the first day I was still too tired, Wednesday was a bit better. I gave everything in the time trial, but I nearly crashed and lost five seconds."

VDB's sub-15 minute time was good enough to withstand the efforts of Belgian TT champion Marc Wauters, who came within eight seconds, and last year's De Panne TT winner Viatcheslav Ekimov (Discovery Channel). Bert Roesems (Davitamon-Lotto) finally broke VDB's time with an impressive 14'47, but then the times started to come down even further.

First Stijn Devolder (Discovery Channel) in 14'35, then his teammate George Hincapie, in 14'31, pushed the fastest time down, and it looked like Discovery was on a roll today. That proved correct when Leif Hoste went through the intermediate check two seconds quicker than Hincapie - and that was after a relaxed start.

Among the other riders, Luis Sanchez (Liberty Seguros), who was looking to defend or better his third place on GC, had a mini-disaster when he punctured halfway. A very smooth bike change got him going again at the cost of 15 seconds, and he finished in a decent time of 14'51. It was just enough to stop Sebastian Rosseler (Quick.Step, 14'44) from overtaking him on GC.

Race leader Bernhard Eisel (Française des Jeux) was already 14 seconds behind Hoste at halfway, and his jersey was effectively gone. However, the Austrian rode well to finish in 14'51 for eighth place, giving him second overall in the Driedaagse. The stage win and the overall honours belonged to Hoste though, who powered back home into the headwind to finish in an amazing 14'17.99, an average of 48.2 km/h. That gave Discovery a 1-2-3 for the stage and also the hattrick of wins in the Driedaagse. Dirk Demol's boys are now ready to challenge in the Ronde van Vlaanderen.
