Stage 7 - May 10: Klodzko - Kudowa Zdroj, 179 km

Telekom again, but Poles still lead

German team Telekom continue to be the aggressors in the 46th Peace Race and continue to add to their stage win tally with another today. However, they can't seem to make any impression - yet - on the general classification where there are two Poles comfortably in the lead. Today's tough stage 7 from Klodzko to Kudowa Zdroj (179 km) was won by Andreas Klöden from a small breakaway group, bringing the team's tally to five wins in seven stages. However, the severity of the stage also dislodged Telekom's Danilo Hondo from third on GC, leaving Steffen Wesemann still 2:15 down on Piotr Wadecki of Mroz.

The stage was marked by rain and cross winds, and the attacks came from the start. After 12 kilometres a group of four (Robert Radosz, Radoslaw Romanik, Sebastian Lang and Lubos Kejval) escaped on the early climb but could only last until the 50 kilometre point before they were caught. At the second climb (Zloty Stok, km 78) the peloton split into several groups, with many abandonments following. PSK Unit Expert's Lubor Tesar attacked with Telekom's Matthias Kessler to take the points on the climb, and they established a break that lasted some 40 kilometres, with Colapck's Moris Sammassimo managing to bridge up.

The last two climbs saw Arkadius Wojtas (Mroz) take the points on each, after he attacked with Andreas Klöden (Telekom) and Denis Lunghi (Colpack). They were joined by three more: Juan Garate Cepa (Lampre-Daikin), Uros Murn (KRKA Telekom) and Charly Wegelius (Mapei Quick Step), and that was the break. They did not get clear of the hard chasing bunch in the final kilometres, but did manage to hold them off to sort out the placings. In the end it was Klöden followed by Lunghi and Wojtas.

The race moves out of Poland into the Czech Republic tomorrow from Trutnov to Usti nad Labem (231 kilometres). With a total of nine climbs, this will be the toughest stage and it's likely that Telekom will try everything to dislodge the two Piotrs from the top. It's going to take some doing.
