Part of the earlier break that went with 84 kilometres to go, then almost making the decisive eight-man split that went the second time over the Kemmelberg with around 25 kilometres remaining, 20 year-old Team CSC neo-pro Matti Breschel has already proven his worth as a rider for the future after his performance in yesterday's Gent-Wevelgem.
"After the final descent of the Kemmelberg, I had to hit the breaks because Jaan Kirsipuu suddenly moved to the side when I was on his wheel. I felt strong enough to keep up with the leaders, but by then it was too late," said Breschel on team CSC's website, www.team-csc.com. "Now I've tried to be among the best in a ProTour race, and hopefully I'll get another shot sometime soon."
