Bartoli denied in a strong performance

This is the "King's stage", with a first, second and third category climbs. At the start the weather is fair but cold, and the speed is not high. Michele Bartoli, who celebrated his 30th birthday yesterday, is riding on a white saddle with a small black bag hanging from it. The bunch parts and regroups again. The selection begins on the first category climb, the Kandel, whose summit is 144 km into the race. Bölts and Herve attack and have a small lead, but are chased down by a strong group containing Bartoli, Virenque, Dufaux, Meier, Plaza and Steinhauser. They catch Bölts and Herve, and gain a maximum lead of 1.30 minutes over the Telekon driven peloton, which begins to shrink due to the lack of cooperation.

Then Bartoli attacks! Bölts follows, and then Bartoli's old friend and teammate, Tobias Steinhauser (Gerolsteiner), followed by David Plaza. Bartoli, the strongest of the four, sets the pace all the way through, with Bölts refusing to work as his teammate Heppner has the leader's jersey. One can't help but wonder what is going through the German champion's mind as he is following an Italian wheel on the king's stage of his national tour.

Plaza loses the pace on the climb to the third cat Friedrichshöhe, which is won by Bartoli, and far behind them, the original break is caught by the peloton. The head wind is very strong, and it's pouring buckets of rain. Bartoli is still doing the lion's share of the work, and Bölts is obviously having glass cranks, as he keeps sitting in Bartoli's wheel. Jonathon Hall tried to bridge with 10 km to go, but in vain. The rain is getting stronger and the lead is 50 seconds with 4 km to go.

100 metres before the line the peloton is at their heels. Bartoli starts to go for a well deserved stage win, but suddenly Bölts finds his lost legs and sprints to take the win. Michele Bartoli gives the German champion the thumb up for his notable sporting behaviour. Heppner kept the leader's jersey.
