Germany, May 28-June 3, 1999

Report:

While French rider Jimmy Casper took his second stage win out of three today the press focus was on the fortunes of Jan Ullrich who was taken to hospital after falling heavily during the stage. The accident came 25 kms from the end when Ullrich became entangled with Udo Bolts. He was taken to the Bielefeld hospital and an early bulletin revealed no fractures were found. The Telekom assistant manager Rudy Pevenage later said: "`Jan needed stitches to his head wound but it's not that serious. We can't say yet how long he will have to rest."

Other riders were brought down in the accident. Race leader and Telekom teammate Rolf Aldag got back on his bike and finished the stage but it has now been revealed that he has a broken elbow and will now miss the Tour de France. Axel Merckx took over the race leadership as a consequence.
