Svorada wins stage; Voskamp new leader
 |
Czech sprinter Jan Svorada has taken the honours in the first road stage of the Tour of Belgium, a 221 kilometre out and back race from Oostende to Knokke Heist. Svorada finished clearly in front of Slovenian Andrej Hauptman (Tacconi Sport) with Romans Vainsteins (Domo) taking third. As a result of a small split in the peloton, Dutchman Bart Voskamp (Bankgiroloterij-Batavus) took over the leader's jersey from prologue winner Bert Roesems.
The stage was dominated by a two man breakaway, when Franck Pencolé (FDJ) and Thomas Voeckler (Bonjour) attacked after 14 kilometres. The pair built up a massive lead of 16 minutes around halfway, but were gradually reeled in by a concerted chase from Palmans-Collstrop, Domo and Lotto. A fall near Kluisbergen saw Emmanuel Magnien, Alexandre Grux, Régis Lhuillier, and Bradley Wiggins go down, and they were forced to abandon the race.
Pencolé and Voeckler were caught with 17 km to go by the compact peloton, and the stage ended in a bunch sprint on the technical finishing circuit. Svorada got the jump on the rest and easily won in front of Hauptman and Vainsteins, whose team had done a lot of work to bring back the break.
Tomorrow morning's stage is from Knokke-Heist to Mechelen over 121 km, followed by a 14 km individual time trial in the afternoon.
