Fresh off of his victory in the one-day Belgian semi-classic Le Samyn GP, Casper again outsprinted the field in Belgium.

The 2006 race victor Eeckhout finished second in the 170-km stage from Kortrijk to Bellegem, and his Belgain compatriot Wouter Weylandt (Quick Step) took third.

The 28-year-old Casper, who won the opening stage of the Tour de France last year, now leads the general classification at the Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen.
