De Panne: Kristoff wins stage 2 sprint, Gilbert pads lead

Published March 29, 2017 10:58AM

Breaking a year-long drought in the northern classics, Alexander Kristoff sprinted to victory in stage 2 of Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde Tuesday in Koksijde, Belgium. Katusha’s Norwegian leader won out of a small group ahead of Trek-Segafredo’s Edward Theuns and Marcel Kittel, second and third, respectively. Kittel’s Quick-Step teammate Philippe Gilbert padded his lead in the race overall, riding in the front group and scooping up bonus seconds throughout the 192.9km race to the seaside town.

“It was a lot of headwind in the final. I was maybe a little too far back in the last corners so I started seated to speed up and move up,” said Kristoff, who won stage 1 in last year’s edition of the race. “I kind of led-out myself, speeding slightly up and started my sprint. I knew from the radio I should stay on the wheel, but I didn’t want to get boxed out.”

Stage 2, top 10

Top-10 overall

Fittingly, the 21-rider breakaway was initiated by Kristoff and Theuns, who started the echelons when the race reached a crosswind after the route’s five hills, with about 40 kilometers to go. Since most of the top teams were represented in the attack, the peloton was not motivated to chase.

Facing a stiff headwind on the finish straight, Kristoff jumped early, about 200 meters from the line, sprinting up the left barriers. Kittel responded with his own acceleration down the middle, and though Theuns closed fast on Kristoff’s left side, up against the fencing, he couldn’t come past and wound up second.

“It is strange always when you have a smaller group,” Kristoff said of the sprint. “Everybody’s a bit tired from racing hard. Also the lead-out trains are not there anymore. I’m actually quite good in these kinds of sprints.”

The three-day race wraps up Thursday with two short stages. In the morning, stage 3a will be a 118.5km race with only one climb, the Ruidenberg, around the race’s halfway point, finishing with two local laps around De Panne. The final test will be a 14.2km individual time trial in stage 3b.
