Stage 3b - April 3: De Panne ITT, 13.7km
Belohvosciks by a whisker

Gianluca Bortolami's legs did not quite hold out for the last 13.7 kilometres of the KBC Driedaagse van De Panne, a testing, windy race against the clock around the streets of De Panne. Starting last, he fought with his bike for 17'38" to concede 48.39" to stage winner Raivis Belohvosciks (Marlux), who only needed 48" to catch Bortolami on GC. That was just enough for the Latvian to claim the overall as well as the stage winner, leaving an exhausted and disappointed Bortolami in second place. Belohvosciks' win in the Driedaagse was a real coup for the Marlux team, directed by Jef Braeckevelt and Andrei Tchmil, as success and exposure is hard to come by in the shadow of the bigger Belgian teams Quick.Step-Davitamon, Lotto-Domo, Landbouwkrediet-Colnago, and Palmans-Collstrop.
"I tried to win the time trial, I didn't know I also would win the GC," said a surprised Belohvosciks to TV1 after being told he was the winner. "I thought about maybe the first five places because I have good condition but I didn't know that I was so strong. I saw in Harelbeke [4th] that I'd already come in front and had good legs. I hope it's not the biggest win of my career. I hope in the future there will be something else bigger like the World Championships Time Trial."
Belohvosciks also had good words for his directors, Jef Braeckevelt and Andrei Tchmil, "Jef does everything. All day, he stays with me for training and everything else. He lives only for the riders and cycling. Tchmil knows all these roads and I do also. He says good things like 'don't lose the time' and 'make the selection'."
To which Braeckevelt added, "I knew that he could do it. In the beginning of the season he was sick, but he came back and made unbelievable progress in the past weeks."
How it unfolded
 |
The last stage was held in dry, sunny but very windy conditions. Eleven riders chose not to start, including Quick.Step's Luca Paolini, who had a sore shoulder and did not want to compromise his chances for Sunday. The early pace was set by FDJeux.com's Brad Wiggins, who blitzed around the course in 17'07" to eventually finish fifth. As the better placed riders started to come in, Fassa Bortolo's Fabian Cancellara shaved 2 seconds off Wiggins' time to become the new rider in the hot seat.
Cancellara's time didn't last long however, as Raivis Belohvosciks, who was chasing the stage win, came home in a time of 16'49.81, an average speed of nearly 49 km/h and the only rider to break the 17 minute barrier. With the top 10 GC riders still to follow him, it was thought that Belohvosciks had probably done enough for a podium spot, but few believed that Bortolami would lose 49 seconds over 13.7 km.
As the final 10 riders finished their time trials, Olaf Pollack (Gerolsteiner) was the only one to get close to Belohvosciks in 17'04, but that wasn't going to be enough to win the race, and the Latvian suddenly found himself right in contention for the overall. Bortolami started his ride, but he was losing time at every check - 11 seconds at 3.5 km, 29 seconds at 10 km, and ultimately 49 seconds on the line after 13.7 kilometres of painful effort. Bortolami knew it wasn't good enough even before he was told of the official result, and conceded defeat, hoping that this week's efforts won't have hurt him too much for Sunday.
