Paul Martens of Skil-Shimano won the first Münsterland Giro Tuesday, two seconds ahead of the peloton. He finished ahead of Sjef De Wilde(Landbouwkrediet) and Wiesenhof's Marcel Sieberg. The race was marked by a four-man escape group of Martens, Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner), Linus Gerdemann (T-Mobile) and Sebastian Siedler (Milram). They got away shortly after the start of the race and built up a lead of nearly eight and a half minutes. The lead shrank due to pressure from the rest of the peloton, but the deciding factor was when the four leaders were misdirected on the course, only 18 km before the finish. Eventually the other three riders were caught by the onrushing peloton but Martens was able to hold on to enough of a lead to take the win.
