The race: Decent weather greeted the riders at the start of the 49th edition of the E3 race. It was dry day with a mild wind.
The day's move came with forty kilometers to go, on the Paterberg climb. World road champion Tom Boonen escaped with Alessandro Ballan and that was the race.
Ballan had trouble with his saddle, but that wasn't his biggest problem. Tom Boonen was in extraordinary form and no one was going to beat him on this day.
With 300 meters to go, Boonen jumped off Ballan's wheel and that was the race. Boonen had won his third of four consecutive E3s.
