Torsten Schmidt (Gerolsteiner) became the first rider today to have defended his title in the Niedersachsen- Rundfahrt. The last stage was won in a bunch sprint by overall second placed Fred Rodriguez (Mapei), however the bonus seconds he gained were not enough to catch the 28 year old German.

"This year the victory feels more important since I am riding for a German sponsor," said Schmidt who last year had a successful season in the Danish Team Chicky World. Gerolsteiner also won the green points jersey through Olaf Pollack. Austrian Hannes Hempel (ARBÖ Bosch) won the climbers' classification.
