The Race: Omega Pharma-Quick Step has put on an impressive display of force in the Three Days of De Panne, putting three riders in the top four final GC places.

Going into the final time trial, leader Gert Steegmans was unsure of his chances, not having ridden a time trial so far in 2014. He did well, but his teammate, big Guillaume van Keirsbulck did better. Twenty-three year old van Keirsbulck started the stage nine seconds behind Steegmans, a deficit he made up with 8 seconds to spare. He finished fifth in the stage, winning the final general classification.

Niki Terpstra, who is in scintillating form this spring, had the misfortune to to have his cleat come out of the pedal at the start probably losing enough time to keep him off the podium.

Polish racer Maciej Bodnar blistered the course, winning the stage by riding an average of 48.045 km/hr

Thursday, April 3: Stage 3a, De Panne - De Panne, 109.7 km

Complete Stage 3a results, GC, map and profile |

The Race: Sacha Modolo got his second DePanne win in a row, narrowly beating his compatriot Andrea Guardini (the photo above show how close it was). That makes six wins this year for Modolo, tying him with André Greipel and Alejandro Valverde.

The day's racing was aggressive with five-man break going clear early on. But the sprinters were going to rule and it was basically gruppo compatto for the finish. A late crash made a mess of things (hence the odd times in the results below).

Gert Steegmans remains the leader, but he is unsure of his chances going into the afternoons stage 3b time trial. He hasn't ridden against the clock this season.

With an eye on the Ronde van Vlaanderen this Sunday, Oscar Gatto and Luca Paolini were among the riders who who did not start the morning's stage.

Results:

Winner's average speed: 46.244 km/hr

Wednesday, April 2: Stage 2, Zottegem - Koksijde, 206 km

Complete stage 2 results, GC, photos, map and profile

Climbs:

• Km 108: Monteberg, 1.0 km long @ 7.3% average gradient, 13% max gradient
• Km 110: Kemmelberg, .7 km @ 7.8% gradient, 17% max
• Km 115.3: Rodeberg, 1.7 km @ 4.8%, 13% max
• Km 116.4: Vidaigneberg, .175 km, 4.6%, 10% max

The Race: Sacha Modolo won his fifth race of the 2014 season today. He had two Lampre teammates (Ariel Richeze and Davide Cimolai) with him in the front group and that firepower did no go to waste. Richeze dropped Modolo off with a quarter-kilometer to go and the Italian sprinter had the legs to beat accomplished sprinters Arnaud Demare and Alexander Kristoff.

With a little more than 20 kilometers to go, a formidable trio broke away (Niki Terpstra, Oscar Gatto and Guillume van Kiersbulck,) but was caught in the final kilometers. That set things up for a big sprint, which Lampre-Merida handled perfectly.

Peter Sagan rode half of the stage and abandoned, surely thinking about the Ronde van Vlaanderen on Sunday.

Results:

1	Sacha Modolo	Lampre-Merida	4hr 28min 15sec

Peter Sagan (Cannondale rider on the left) clearly hits the brakes before the line. See race story below.

Winner's average speed: 44.725 km/hr

The Race: On the last haul up the Eikmolen (km 191, 10 km to go), Cannondale riders Peter Sagan and Oscar Gatto successfully took off to bridge to a earlier break of seven. They were later joined by Niki Terpstra and Gert Steemans.

It was Sagan's plan to lead out Gatto for the stage win, but Kenneth Vanbilsen was moving too fast for Sagan to slow to let Gatto win. At the last moment Sagan tapped his brakes, but the stage was still Sagan's.

This is Sagan's fourth victory of 2014, coming after a stage wins at the Tour of Oman and Tirenno-Adriatico as well as the GP E3. It's also Sagan's third consecutive stage one win at Three Days of De Panne. He looks good for the big northern European stuff coming up (l'Equipe called the stage a "mini Tour of Flanders"). The Ronde van Vlaanderen is this Sunday.
