Final overall winner, Yves Lampaert

The Race: With 30 riders within a half-minute of race leader Yves Lampaert before a hilly stage, the general classification seemed to remain up in the air. But Lampaert's Etixx-Quick Step team controlled the race, allowing Lampaert to win the first stage race of his career.

A group of seven riders escaped early in the stage and were at one point allowed to get a four-minute lead. Bringing the break back turned out to be hard work. It wasn't until the final 11.5 km loops that they were caught, setting things up for a big sprint, won by Trek's Danny van Poppel.

Yves Lampaert wins stage 1

The Race: A big group went clear early in the stage, but with less than 60 km to go, five of those escapees went off on their own. During the finishing circuits the rest of the break was absorbed by the peloton.

Approaching the finish, Sander Cordeel tried a flyer, but Tosh Van der Sande went after him. Tucked behind Van der Sande was Etixx-Quick Step rider Yves Lampaert, who went by everyone to win the stage. Since Lampaert was fourth in the time trial the day before, he became the GC leader as well.

Tomorrow is the final stage, Nieuwpoort - Ichtegem.

The Race: It was clear, cool day in Belgium, perfect for racing. Katusha rider Anton Vorobyev (2012 under-23 world time trial champion) was a relatively early starter. By the time he was done bistering the course, going almost 53 km/hr, he had set a mark that rider after rider tried to match.

None could. The closest any of the riders could come was Etixx rider Yves Lampaert, and he was still a big 8 seconds (big, given how short the time-trial was) short of matching the Katusha rider's mark.

After the stage, Vorobyev had this to say: "Of course, I am very happy with this victory! I was very motivated, because I was able to achieve good form and I wanted very much to get a result. I knew this route because I’ve ridden it previously. In the morning I had a chance to see the route again and to understand how to ride it, how to divide the power on the distance.

"In the first part it was a strong head wind, so it was important to pass it with a good speed. Normally, I like long time trials, but I worked hard to improve my abilities in short distances, because I know I have to ride both long and short TT’s. Now, I am the leader in GC and I am motivated for fighting in this race until the end. We have a very strong team here in Belgium and all of the guys are really motivated to support me and to help me in next two days. We will see what will happens, but I am sure for 100% we will do our best!"

Tomorrow the riders will race from Bruges to Harelbeke over a 174 km route.

Winner's average speed: 52.830 km/hr
