Stage 9 - May 18: Plauen - Gera, 97 km

Bondariew wins, Piil retains jersey

There is just one stage to go now in the 54th Peace Race, and it looks like there will be a Danish winner this year. Jakob Storm Piil (CSC-World Online) successfully held off any would-be challengers in the afternoon's 97 kilometre stage from Plauen to Gera, won by Mroz rider Bogdan Bondariew in a solo breakaway.

Cool conditions greeted the field as they rolled out at 1500 hrs, and the attacks started straightaway with the help of a strong tailwind. After three kilometres, two riders had already fallen - Radek Becka (Czech U23) und Christopher Fisher (Saturn), and they were taken to hospital.

Piil's CSC team controlled the pace, aided by Fakta, who would also benefit by a Danish win. On the first climb (Cat. 1, 19.3 km), Scott Sunderland (Fakta) set off with Bogdan Bondariew (Mroz) in tow. The two claimed the points on the mountain in that order, but were brought back to the field a few kilometres later.

The tailwind helped things along, with the next attack coming at kilometre 50 (Lochowski (Fakta), Grabsch (Telekom) and Konecny (Domo-Farm Frites). These three riders stayed away over the second mountain prime, the "Steilen Wand von Meerane". However, their lead never grew to more than 35 seconds and Lochowski droppped back first, while the other two perservered until 16 kilometres to go.

Shortly afterwards, Bogdan Bondariew launched his final attack, quickly gaining 30 seconds on a slightly disorganised large bunch (the stage had to be rerouted due to a car accident in Gera). Festina set the pace with 10 kilometres to go, but only reduced the gap to 9 seconds at the finish, as Bondariew crossed the line a winner. In second place was German Robert Forster (Nurnberger) followed by his compatriot Andreas Beikirch (Agro Adler) and 71 other riders.

Tomorrow's final stage travels from Schkeuditz to Potsdam (166 km).
