HEW-Cyclassics Cup, World Cup Round 7

Germany, August 15, 1999

Brief Preview:

Belgian Andrei Tchmil aims to retain his leadership in the overall World Cup rankings after the next round - the HEW-Cyclassics Cup in the northern German town of Hamburg. He took the leadership jersey after the Clasica San Sébastien two weeks ago and maintains a gap of 9 points on fellow Belgian Frank Vandenbroucke with Dutch rider Michael Boogerd third overall and Peter van Petegem fourth.

But the sprinters in the peloton - German Erik Zabel, Belgian Tom Steels, Estonian Jann Kirsipuu and Australian Stuart O'Grady will also be in the hunt for victory in the 251 kms race - 80 per cent of which is stage in the city limits.

Zabel, for example, is waiting for his first victory after 7 of the 10 races in the World Cup. He recently won the green points jersey in the Tour for the 4th time and he is in great form. Last weekend he won in Dortmund and Bochum. If it comes down to a mass sprint he has to be a favourite.

The race does not always come down to a mass sprint though. The last time it was a sprint finish Leon Van Bon won. In 1997 the winner was 1997 Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich. Ullrich told the press recently: "It is impossible for me to win this year because I have had a lot of delays in my preparation. I am going to be working in the lead groups for Erik to maximise his chances."

He is coming back after a fall in the Tour of Germany which forced him to miss the Tour de France. He is now aiming for the Vuelta, the World Championships, the Tour of Lombardy, and will begin his preparation for next season in those races as a build up to the 2000 Tour.

Brief Report:

25-year old Italian Mirko Celestino (Polti) beat all the favourites and the adverse weather to win the HEW-Cyclassics in Hamburg. At the same time it was clearly his biggest career victory. He surprised the more fancied riders when he attacked the 8-rider breakaway group with 1 km to go. He finished in front of the other riders with German Raphael Schweda (who like Jan Ullrich hails from Rostok) and Latvian Romans Vainsteins. After 7 rounds of the World Cup (of 10), Belgian Andrei Tchmil leads Frank Vandenbroucke with Michael Boogerd third.

The 251 kms race was a battle against the natural elements as much as it was a cycling race. There were violent downpours and strong winds which slowed speeds and tested endurance. Festina rider Christophe Moreau abandoned after a fall and Telekom riders Jan Schaffrath and Steffen Wesemann abandoned exhausted. A notable result came from Jan Ullrich who finished in the main peloton which was considered excellent given his lack of racing. He was 3.05 down on Celestino and clearly worked hard for Erik Zabel. Zabel, however, did not make the final selection and finished 9th.

There was some shenanigans at the start when some vandals soaped one of the climbs (16%) and firemen had to come and rinse the surface.

The Dane Mark Tune Madsen (Team Chicky World) currently UCI-ranked 1322nd stole the show after one and a half hours of racing and built a maximum lead of 10.44. He was eventually caught again after 3 hours of solo riding on the front. In the last 50 kms there were constant attacks but Telekom were controlling the pace trying to set it up for Zabel. But all their attempts failed when the break of 8 went with around 15 kms to go.
