BMC's Greg Van Avermaet has ended his team's dry spell, taking out the third stage of the Tour de Wallonie in a bunch sprint finish over Topsport Vlaanderen's Tom van Asbroeck and Jean-Pierre Drucker (Accent Jobs-Wanty).

It was Van Avermaet's first win since 2011, and a great relief for the Belgian. "This victory is very important to me. I am very happy," Van Avermaet said according to Sporza.

"I took good results in all the Classics, but a victory was missing. And winning is still the most important thing for a rider. Today I remained quiet in the peloton and sat in on the climbs. I I put everything on my sprint and it paid off. "

The victory put Van Avermaet into fourth overall behind race leader Alexandr Kolobnev (Katusha), and he is keen to keep trying to move up.

"I'm in good shape. Tomorrow I will definitely try to win again"

Kolobnev's lead came under repeated attacks on a hilly stage in Bastogne.

Kevin Van Melsen (Accent Jobs - Wanty), Stijn Steels and Christophe Premont (Crelan - Euphony) escaped early in the race and built up a lead of five minutes, but the quartet did not survive much past the 35km to go mark. Soon a new group was away, with Gregory Habeaux (Accent Jobs - Wanty), Juan Manuel Garate (Belkin), Jurgen Van de Walle (Lotto Belisol) and Willem Wauters (Vacansoleil - DCM), but they too were pulled back by the Katusha-led peloton.

A dangerous attack from Marco Marcato (Vacansoleil - DCM), Daniel Oss (BMC) and Belgian champion Stijn Devolder (Radioshack-Leopard) went clear on the Muir St Roch, with 24 kilometers to go, but yet again, they could not persist.

There was one last strong attack from Yannick Eijssen (BMC) and Pieter Serry (Omega Pharma - Quick Step) with 15km to go, but with BMC banking on Van Avermaet, there was not enough cooperation for the pair to stay clear.

In the end, Romain Feillu (Vacansoleil) jumped first in the bunch sprint, and Van Asbroeck looked set to challenge for the win, but Van Avermaet found his kick and pushed ahead just before the line.
