No mistakes for Tom

Tom Boonen exacted revenge for yesterday's missed sprint when he took advantage of a school book leadout performed by his team mates and won the stage to Knokke-Heist. This was Boonen's third win in Knokke in as many attempts.

"Yeah, it's three out of three. Nice," Boonen said after the stage. "I came to the front early in the sprint, and there was also a lot of headwind. But it was slightly uphill and a power sprint is perfect for me and I did the job well. My family is here, so if I didn't win, I would have got a beating," he added jokingly.

Skil-Shimano's Maarten Tjallingii remains the race leader, and will start tomorrow morning's time trial in the black leader's jersey. There he will have to chase a strong-looking Boonen who said of the time trial; "I'll go full gas, and whatever happens, happens. I hope that I can surprise myself, but I feel that I am a bit in the dark."

How it unfolded

The early break

Just like yesterday, the speed was high from the gun, and many riders were eager to try their luck with attacks. The first serious attempt was made by Kristof de Zutter (Bodysol) and shortly after he was brought back, Glenn D'Hollander (Chocolade Jacques), Niki Terpstra (Ubbink) and Alessandro Maserati (LPR) managed to get 14 seconds before being swallowed up. Unibet.com were responsible for the high pace early in the race, and the peloton travelled towards Knokke at around 49km/h initially.

The first break to get a decent gap consisted of Laurens Ten Dam (Unibet.Com), Steven Caethoven (Chocolade Jacques), Sven Renders (Landbouwkrediet), Jurgen Lindhoud (Ubbink), Marlon Alirio Perez Arango (Team Tenax) and Ward Bogaert (Yawadoo), who escaped with 120 kilometres to go. Shortly after establishing the break, Bogaert suffered a puncture and was unable to get back to the five riders in front. The best placed rider in the break was Jurgen Lindhoud at 14'25", but despite this, they were not given space to roam freely by the peloton. The five-man group gained a maximum of 5'25", but that was as much as they would get, and a peloton driven by Skil-Shimano, Profel-Ziegler, QuickStep, Davitamon and Jartazi started to reel them in.

Perez Arango took advantage of being in the break, and collected the highest score of points in both the first and the second sprints along the course. In all, Perez Arango and Laurens Ten Dam were the stronger and more active riders in the break, and with 42 kilometres to go, the Colombian attacked from the break and only Ten Dam could follow. The gap to the peloton at this point was 2'30".

Coming up to the last intermediate sprint of the day, Perez Arango was eager to take top points, and despite the fact that Ten Dam made his intentions very clear and offered Perez Arango the points in exchange for continued co-operation, the Colombian jumped ahead to secure the points, much to Ten Dam's annoyance. Nevertheless, the escapades of the day earned Perez Arango the red sprinter's jersey.

The rider in red during today's stage, Rosseler, was less lucky, and it's probably a good thing that blood doesn't show on red fabric. With 64 kilometres to go he crashed, and with ten kilometres to go, just after the two front riders had been caught by the peloton, Rosseler was yet again caught in a nasty accident where a Panaria rider - Paride Grillo - hit a parked car head on. Rosseler, who figured in the pre-race talks as Boonen's favourite for the overall, hit the ground and looked to lose valuable time as he slowly rose. Amazingly, the QuickStep rider, who was fifth on the GC before today's stage (31 seconds behind Tjallingii), managed to get back to the rear of the peloton with five kilometres to go.

The peloton that was now all together was being driven by Discovery Channel ahead of a full Quickstep team, minus Rosseler. They were not to repeat yesterday's mistake where they ran out of riders in the last ten kilometres. The head-butting for positions behind Boonen was fierce, with Van Heeswijk and Boonen among others struggling for a good spot ahead of the sprint.

Boonen started the sprint with clear strength, and could only be challenged by a strong Max Van Heeswijk who got his speed up too late. Davitamon's Gert Steegmans, fourth on GC, defended himself very well in the big sprint and took bonus seconds as the third rider over the line.
