Stage 1 - May
29: Hamburg - Hanover, 210.4 km
Steels back to full speed
Belgian Tom Steels must have quietened a few nerves in the Mapei camp
today, after he beat local favourite Erik Zabel (Telekom) in the bunch
sprint to take the first stage of the Tour of Germany in Hannover. Unfortunately
there was a large pile up near the finish that took out Gerolsteiner's
Michael Rich who broke his hand. But Steels and Zabel survived this,
and battled it out to the finish for the honours in the first stage.
The 210 kilometre stage took the riders on a fairly flat parcours
from Hamburg to Hanover, at times into a strong headwind. Three riders:
Jörg Ludewig (Saeco), Martin Müller (Team Cologne) and Ronny Scholz
(Gerolsteiner) attacked after 66 kilometres, reaching a maximum lead
of 7 minutes by halfway. After this, Telekom, Coast and Festina got
to the front and worked to bring them back, achieving this feat with
33 kilometres to go.
After this it was a question of keeping the pace high so that Zabel
could take the win. He was the man in form after posting four consecutive
stage wins in the Tour of Bavaria last week.
With two kilometres to go, a crash took out a dozen or so riders,
but there was little disruption to the lead out. Nine time Tour de France
stage winner Steels managed to get round Zabel, who was clearly disappointed
afterwards and refused to talk to the media.
Steels on the other hand was happy: "There are a lot of strong competitiors
here. And it's good to know I'm strong. Winning a sprint with Erik Zabel?
I know he belongs to the top 5 sprinters and I'm glad I could beat him.
I expect to see him often in the near future..."
Tomorrow's second stage is a hilly 173 kilometres from Goslar to Erfurt,
with one first and two second category climbs.
