Viviani outsprints Kittel in De Panne
Elia Viviani
Koksijde - Arab Today
Italy's Elia Viviani claimed the second stage of Three Days of De Panne on Wednesday, edging out Germany's Marcel Kittel and overall leader Alexander Kristoff in a sprint finish after a 211km run from Zottegem.
A seven-man breakaway breathed life into the stage, with Dutch rider Pim Ligthart the final escapee to be swallowed up around 20km from the finish.
Etixx-QuickStep set up Kittel to launch an assault for the line with around 250 metres to go, but the German sprint specialist was overtaken by a charging Elia, as the Team Sky rider notched up his second win of the season after claiming a stage on February's Tour of Dubai.
Katusha rider Kristoff, winner of Tuesday's opening stage and the defending champion, holds a five-second lead going into Thursday's concluding split stages - a 111km trip around De Panne is followed by a 14.2km time-trial.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
