German rider Marcus Burghardt confirmed his status as young hopeful again this Saturday by finishing on the podium of the E3 Prijs Vlaanderen in Belgium, right behind top stars Tom Boonen (Quick-Step) and Fabian Cancellara (CSC). Together with the Belgian, the Swiss, and Manuel Quinziato (Liquigas), the 23 year-old broke clear of the bunch with 21 kilometres to go and held the pace until the end.
