The first stage had two second category climbs in the latter part of the stage and three sprints earlier along the road with a black jersey and 3-2-1 bonus seconds to battle for.

Lotto's Jacky Durand, who else, tried an early escape. He was caught shortly before the first sprint at 17.4 kms where Jan Koerts (Farm Frites) was first over the line ahead of Lochowski (Agro Adler) and Olaf Pollack (Gerolsteiner). Swiss Roger Beauchat (Post Swiss) was the next to try his luck at 24 kilometres and his escape lasted longer but the gap of 20 seconds was closed after a while. Also Stefano Casagranda attacked with the same result and in the second sprint at Koblenz it is once again Koerts first ahead of Lochowski and Pollack.

Sven Teutenberg (Gerolsteiner) attacked at 72 kilometres and this time the peloton is "ruhig" (quiet). Teutenberg soon managed a three minute gap, he passed the third sprint and gained three seconds and six points. Halfway through the stage, at 90 kms, the German had five minutes to the peloton and Teutenberg also passed the first mountain prime in the lead. The gap grew to over eight minutes before Telekom took charge together with Team Cologne.

A crash occurred, Tom Steels (Mapei) fell but but got back the bike. Some kilometres later he gave up though, as he was also suffering from influenza.

Four riders broke away from the peloton on the climb and the field was more or less in pieces at the top. They were caught however and Teutenberg's lead was shrinking rapidly. Six riders attacked off the front, among them Telekom's Jörg Jaksche and another two riders bridged up after some ten minutes.

Teutenberg started the second climb alone, but now he only had a minute or so to the chasing group. He managed to reach the top still by himself but was caught on the way down. In this decisive moment Jaksche had derailleur problems and his chain fell off. He soon rejoined the group and the gap to the peloton was now over two minutes. However, another group came up and soon eleven riders, among them last year's winner Jens Heppner, were at the front.

At the first passage in Wiesbaden, with an eight kilometre lap left, Heppner and Konecny (Wüstenrot) were alone ahead of the peloton and Dufaux (Saeco) was able to bridge. Toward the end there were several small climbs and sharp bends. The breakaways were caught by more riders from a field that more or less fell apart during the final kilometres with Bölts (Telekom) and Heppner seen at the front taking care of an attack from Virenque (Polti). The two Germans managed to get a gap with six other riders and in the sprint it is number one, Jens Heppner who won ahead of Gerolsteiner's Wrolich and Dufaux.
