I think we'll ait until after P-R for that, I'm sure it isn't too hard to win a pre-race for the cobbled classics with Hincapie
Anyway, great win, hope you can smash them in the cobbled classics! |

the riders that were behind Hincapie were all in the same group so they sprinted, that's why Eisel was in front of Cancellara

Driedgaagse van De Panne Stage 1

The escapes: Hayman, Den Bakker, De Vocht, Guesdon and Van Mechelen

The breakway is looking better and better

Burghardt attacks but is too late....

Hincapie and Cancelarra are 10 minutes behind the escapes

Win De Vocht wins the stage and is favourite for the whole race

The second group of the race finishes the race

And then Burghardt

Am I right, or is it a time trial in this race? Are the leaders good time-triallists? You're gonna beat them there! (if there is a tt ) |

It is a 16km tt in the last stage but I don't think that Hincapie can win 8 minutes. De Vocht is something like 64 in th TT, Scheirlincks as well
