Rossner wins German Championship

By Giana Roberge, Team Saturn

Still hot off her incredible sprinter become GC showing at the HP Women's Challenge last week where she finished fourth, Saturn's Petra Rossner raced to the National Champion's Jersey in her home country today.

The 126 kilometer road race was a challenge for Rossner, despite her excellent form. Hanka Kupfernagel has put her stamp on the National Championships for the past few years, and looked as if she would have another successful go at the hotly sought after jersey. Also, Judith Arndt, second at the HP Women's Challenge to Rossner’s teammate Lyne Bessette, also seemed certain to give Rossner a run for her money.

A small group of nine women split off from the main peloton on the second lap, including Rossner, Arndt and Kupfernagel. The final climb saw the group whittled down to four, with Rossner able to respond to the Kupfernagel’s attacks. In the sprint it was Rossner over Kupfernagel for the win and the National Championship Jersey. Rossner was last the National Road Champion in 1989, but as this season has clearly indicated, the German is having an outstanding season. Rossner's National Championship win makes the fifth for the Saturn Team this season.

Rossner will rejoin her teammates in her new National Champion Jersey later in July for a tour in her own country and the seventh World Cup.

Day 2 - July 1: Elite Men Road Race, 216 km

Ullrich and Zabel 1-2 in Germany

By Jeff Jones

In yet another display of Telekom power, Jan Ullrich and Erik Zabel have taken first and second places in the German national championships in Bad Dürrheim. The pair attacked with approximately 30 kilometres to go in the 216 kilometre race, with Ullrich putting in one final effort with 2 km to go to finish ahead of Zabel. In third place was Saeco's Christian Wegmann, who finished with last year's champion, Rolf Aldag.

The 12 lap race started in perfect weather conditions in front of approximately 100,000 fans who had gathered in the Black Forest to see their heroes in action. The major difficulty was a 900m hill in Aasen with a 15 percent gradient, and there was also a prize for the best climber. On the first time up the hill, Ronny Scholz (Gerolsteiner), Ralf Grabsch (Telekom) and Jens Zemke (Nürnberger) got a gap, which steadily grew to 4'30 by the 40th kilometre.

Telekom started to ride tempo in the peloton after that, and the advantage came down again. Zemke was winning points in the mountain sprints, but he and the other two were eventually caught on the 6th lap. By this stage, the main peloton had split with around 50 riders in the leading group.

On the 8th of 12 laps, the critical break formed with Ullrich, Zabel, Andreas Klöden, Rolf Aldag (Telekom), Jens Voigt (Crédit Agricole), Thomas Liese (Nürnberger), Timo Scholz (Wiesenhof), Sven Teutenberg (Festina) and Christian Wegmann (Saeco). There were enough Telekom riders to ensure success, unless the other riders cooperated to work against the magenta boys.

At the beginning of the 9th lap, it was clear that the peloton had given up, as they were 7'15 behind. On the climb of the 10th lap, Aldag attacked, with Ullrich on his wheel. Jens Voigt and Erik Zabel chased, but it was Timo Scholz who brought them back. Several attacks followed, with Zabel and Wegmann getting away for before the start of the 11th lap.

Ullrich, Aldag, and Voigt chased them, with Sven Teutenberg und Thomas Liese following a little further behind. With approximately 30 kilometres to go, the five leaders came together: Ullrich, Zabel, Aldag, Voigt and Wegmann, before Ullrich and Zabel attacked in what was to be the decisive move. Aldag and Wegmann chased, with Voigt being left on his own.

The leading Telekom pair had 35 seconds with one lap (18 km) to go and there was no bringing them back. Ullrich put in his final attack with 2 kilometres to go, to ensure he didn't get pipped by Zabel on the line. Aldag had to settle for fourth behind Wegmann, but the winners were once again Telekom.
