- The riders are ready to start.
- Jasper Ockeloen (Rabobank Continental) looking focused before the start.
- Frank Vandenbroucke (Cinelli) was again the centre of attention.

- OK dude, it's neat party trick, but it's a little old... and you're not actually Eddy Merckx.
- The mood focused on bikes in Lokeren for the Waasland.
- It wasn't long before someone attacked and then it was typical Belgian kermesse-style racing.
- Maurice Vrijmoed (Rabobank Continental) corners nicely as the sun came out.
- Eventual winner Johan Coenen got away in a small group.
- Joeri Adams (Rabobank Continental) shows the strain.
