Omega Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team, for the third stage in a row of Ronde van België, had the responsibility of chasing down a break in the 163km race on Friday. They succeeded, putting the entire team on the front and catching a five man break with slightly less than 10km to go.

Unfortunately, while Omega Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team dictated the pace at the front, lining up their leadout from 5km until 2km, Lotto-Belisol took over for the third time in three stages and gave Andre Greipel the perfect leadout for his third victory. Andy Fenn, still managed a fifth place finish, and the team looks to a 20km time trial tomorrow from Turnhout to Arendonk. World time trial champion Tony Martin, who is 47th in the GC (+30"), will be ready to give his best for the team.
