KBC Driedaagse van De Panne-Koksijde – Day 4 (0)
It’s a split stage today, 119 kilometres in the morning, then 11 kilometres contre la montre in the afternoon.
The morning stage means an early start all-round and at 09.05 the bunch rolls out of De Panne, it’s parky but sunny.

Stage two is the longest at nearly 230 K, from Zottegem to Sint-Idesbald, a quick breenge around the bergs then a charge back to the coast and two finishing laps.
Viktor wanted to see his hero, Guy Smet at a kermesse near Brugges, so my race watching was courtesy of the plasma screen in a cafe.

Stage one is Middelkerke (home to the Tom Boonen fan club) to Zottegem, wearing-on for 200 K, when you include two laps of a circuit in the ‘bergs’ near Oudenaarde.
All of the hills which give Het Volk, Kuurne, De Panne and Flanders their particular character are contained within a relatively small area.

Viktor has barred us from attending any races which are patronised by Graham Baxter Tours, this means that the Tour of Flanders is out.
The next-best thing therefore, is De Panne. It covers many of the roads that Flanders does, the ‘Flanders fever’ is in full flow but the security is non-existent so you can skek bikes and annoy mechanics to your heart’s content.
