3rd Tour of Germany - 2.3Germany, May 29-June 4, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 2 - May 30: Goslar - Erfurt, 173.0 kmZabel's revenge in stage 2Despite a few more hills in the second stage of the Tour of Germany, the majority of the peloton arrived in Erfurt to contest the sprint. After yesterday's surprise defeat to Tom Steels, German favourite Erik Zabel made no mistake today, winning the sprint in front of Igor Pugaci (Saeco) and Guennadi Mikhailov (Lotto), becoming the new race leader. The 173 kilometre stage from Goslar to Erfurt was animated by an escape from Swiss Roger Beuchat (Phonak), who took off at the start to gain a 10'35 lead by kilometre 71. He made it over all the climbs, but was caught with 18 kilometres to go. Telekom led the peloton after that, but with 800m to go there was a fall similar to yesterday, taking out Andreas Kloden and Alex Zulle. Both were able to finish the race though. With Tom Steels over a minute down, Erik Zabel had no challengers for his stage win, which he said "relieved him of course." We have an the enormous pressure of expectation from our public, even if it is not the Tour de France," he added. Tomorrow's stage is hillier, taking the riders from Erfurt to Bad Neustadt through Thuringen, but this still should suit Zabel, who has now won 12 races this season.
