Luca Paolini vandt 1. etape

Efter en gruppe på 8 mand med Frédéric Amorison (Landbouwkrediet), Evert Verbist (Chocolade Jacques), Mario Ickx (Jartazi), Geert Steegmans (QuickStep), Stijn Devolder (Discovery), Enrico Franzoi (Lampre) og Aleksandr Kuchynski (Liquigas) og Jan Kuyckx (Landbouwkrediet) blev hentet med 41 km til mål, kom der straks nye angreb.

Dette resulterede i, at Sergiy Matveyeev (Panaria) og Frederick Willems (Liquigas) kom af sted. Bert Roesems (Predictor-Lotto) kørte efter og kom op til de to sammen med Joost Poosthuma (Rabobank), Luca Paolini (Liquigas), Kevin Hulsmans (QuickStep), Alessandro Ballan (Lampre), Frederic Guesdon (Francaise des Jeux), Benoit Joachim (Astana), Markus Eichler (Unibet.com) og David Boucher (Landbouwkrediet).

Med 20 km til mål skulle gruppen og Leberg, der også indgår i Flandern rundt på søndag. Her satte Joost Poosthuma tempo, og han fik reduceret gruppen til 7 mand: Sergiy Matveyev (Panaria), Joost Poosthuma (Rabobank), Bert Roesems (Predictor-Lotto), Luca Paolini (Liquigas), Kevin Hulsmans (QuickStep), Alessandro Ballan (Lampre) og Markus Eichler (Unibet.com).

På den eftefølgende stigning Berendries var gruppen forspring på omkring 40 sekunder, hvilket fik Discoverys Thomas Vaitkus til at regaere. Han angreb og fik lavet en forfølgegruppe, hvor også Vladimir Gusev (Discovery), Geert Steegmans (QuickStep) og Daniele Bennati sad. Men denne gruppe var dog aldrig rigtig tæt på de forreste og spillede ingen rolle i finalen, som de 7 forreste skulle køre.

Med 6 km til mål kører Ballan væk fra frontgruppen og får slået et stort hul. Efter de andre har forsøgt at lukke hullet, kører Paolini væk og kommer op til Ballan. De to følges så ad til mål, hvor Paolini vinder spurten uden problemer.

Hulsmans vinder forfølgernes spurt og taber 11 sekunder. En gruppe med blandt andre Steegmans og Gusev taber 46 sekunder, mens hovedfeltet taber cirka 2.26.
