Worldchampion Zdenek Stybar shows his great shape in the early start of the season. After 2 wins in his homeland, Czech Republic, he won the first leg in Namur (GvA trophee) last week and won the first race of the SP in Ruddervoorde. That makes it 4 wins in a row for the world champion. On a technical course in Ruddervoorde, it was only Bart Aernouts who could keep up Stybar's pace. In the last lap, Aernouts tried to surprise Stybar but a counterattack of the Czech world champion, left Aernouts with a second place, 5 seconds clear after Stybar.
