Wouter Weylandt had to wait ten minutes to find out that he had taken his fourth victory of the season yesterday in the Ster Elektrotoer. The Quickstep rider crossed the finish line simultaneously with Gerolsteiner's Robert Förster and Wiesenhof's Stefan van Dijk, and the three had to wait until the race jury had analysed the finish-line photos before they could announce who had won.
"Look! The hair on my arms is standing up!" the happy winner said. But he had known going into the stage why he had won, he told sportwereld.be. Before the start he had spoken with Cynthia, the race "Miss," and reassured her that he would see here again later on the podium. "You see, I have kept my word," he said.
