17:47 CEST 261km/0km to go Hammond is in second wheel, then Backstedt and Hoffman. They get the bell and Cancellara swings up Hammond still in second, Cancellara accelerates, but doesn't get far. Then Hammond goes. But Backstedt comes on the inside and takes the win!!!! Hoffman second, then Hammond and Cancellara.
Museeuw and Van Petegem come across together, with PVP putting his arms around Museeuw and pushing him into 5th place. Very emotional finish.
