Tour of Belgium - stage 3
Smowz
Okay the final sprinters stage in Belgium, can anyone stop Van Avermart whose accelerations have been unbelievable so far. Cavendish, Bongiorno and Vantomme really should be able to go better, the race will be a waste of they do not go for it today!

Three sprint primes out on the route today, one rider at least is prepared to give it a dig on this nice still day in Belgium.

Wiggle’s Paulo Locatelli gives it a dig

He is way down on GC, one of many riders to lose time on the windy stage one, so he will be given a fair bit of leeway by a relaxed peleton. Relaxed of course until the sprint primes, where with one rider away the angry swarm of sprinters are going to go for the points and time bonuses. So at sprint one Locatelli takes it and Gavazzi (Unicredit) is second and Bongiorno(Intesa) takes third.

Italian sprinters seem to like these small time bonuses

I suppose Chicchi, Bongiorno and Gavazzi think that they have no chance of matching Van Avermart in the final sprint so why not grab some glory. It was a similar story at the second sprint prime soon after.

Locatelli - > Bongiorno - > Gavazzi

Meanwhile, Locatelli keeps tapping away up front and with 80km to go he is the virtual leader being 8.34 ahead of the peleton (and he was 8.08 down before the day started).

Locatelli – not the expected Wiggle rider for GC!

But the same duo of teams Bimbo Nutella and 100% Me start to chase it down, so unlikely GC dreams for the Italian went. With 55km to go the lead was just under five minutes. The young Italian still had enough in hand to ride over the final sprint prime, it was Bongiorno again who came over in second ahead of Gavazzi.

Useful points these for Intesa man

Bongiorno has now moved to virtual second place on GC 26 seconds down on Van Avermart, he is just 11 points down on the points classification and should be well placed to go high on that in the final shake up. Locatelli gets caught with 25km to go, so we can get set up for the grandstand finish. Van Avermart yet again is in the perfect position with 4100m to go.

Pokerstars train leading out Van Avermart

The driver of the green train is Maaskant, he is leading out for Marco Guillen. On Van Avermarts wheel is Chicchi and then Vantomme. The latter rider (Vantomme) begins to move around sensing that he needs to get closer to his more dominant compatriot Van Avermart. Some Highroad riders move up to support.

Pokerstars in command with 2800m to go

As the sprinting starts, Van Avermart just sits in waiting whilst other sprinters pour past, Vantomme is most prominent and the Eichler (Cillit Bang) and Veilleux (Bbox)

2100km to go: Pokerstars caught flush

Everyone seems to be waiting for the big move from the Bimbo Nutella GC leader but it simply is not coming today. Meanwhile Vantomme is stretching clear, he has been passed a couple of times this year late on so this could be his big moment.

Under 1km to go

Bongiorno is beginning to make a move with Van Avermart on his wheel, but surprising here is the Cillit Bang rider Eichler who is keeping up well with Vantomme. Not well enough to win though!

Victory for Vantomme

Behind it is Bongiorno he gets a great third place considering the prime grabbing he has been doing!

No time boneses for Van Avermart today!
