Stage 3 - May 31: Erfurt - Bad Neustadt (Saale), 177.1 km

Zabel adds another

Erik Zabel has bagged another stage in his own national tour, after the third stage from Erfurht to Bad Neustadt ended in another bunch sprint. Zabel beat compatriots Sven Teutenberg (Festina) and Werner Riebenbauer (Nurnberger) and therefore kept his overall race lead.

The 176.9 kilometre stage was not as hilly as yesterday, containing just three second category climbs at km 41, 100 and 127, and two sprints at km 86.7 and km 114.4. Two riders who were caught in a finish crash yesterday, Andreas Klöden and Alex Zülle, started today but Zülle wasn't sure whether he would be able to finish the tour.

Telekom controlled the early part of the race, allowing no attacks to get away. As this was a perfect "Zabel stage", it was in their best interests to keep things together. However, after 30 kilometres, Allan Johnasen (Fakta) managed to escape, gaining over 2 minutes in the next 10 kilometres. He took the first mountain prize, and things started to get more animated behind him.

Two following groups formed, with the result that the gap was narrowed to a handful of seconds, allowing Steve Zampieri (Post Swiss) to bridge up. The pair worked well, and increased their lead again, reaching over nine minutes at halfway.

Telekom began to get organised again, and worked to reduce the gap, helped by Team Coast. Zampieri dropped Johansen on the second climb (km 100) but was rejoined shortly afterwards, and the pair still had 9'30 with 66 km to go. That was as big as it got, and in the ensuing Telekom chase, last year's winner David Plaza (Festina) abandoned.

Zampieri dropped Johansen for good on the final climb (km 126) and the pair carried on individually, although their lead plummeted after that. When they were getting quite close, Marcel Strauss (Gerolsteiner) und Roberto Lochowski (Fakta) attacked the bunch, catching Zampieri with 18 kilometres to go. Telekom were chasing with the full team, along with Team Coast, Mapei and Bankgiroloterij and this final break was caught with 5 km to go.

The last 3 kilometres were downhill, making for a very fast sprint, but Telekom controlled things well, bringing Fagnini to the front with 500m to go to lead out Zabel. Zabel did his job correctly, holding off Festina's Teutenberg and Nurnberger's Riebenbauer, for his 6th win in the last 8 days.
