3rd Tour of Germany - 2.3Germany, May 29-June 4, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 4 - June 1: Bad Neustadt - Mannheim, 239.8 kmFreire adds to Mapei comeback
While Garzelli and co. were losing large amounts of time during stage 13 of the Giro d'Italia, Mapei-Quick Step had some cause to smile after Spanish star Oscar Freire won the Tour of Germany's fourth stage. Riding in his comeback race, Freire pipped teammate Tom Steels, with the winner of the past two stages, Erik Zabel (Telekom) taking third place, and holding on to the race lead. The Tour of Germany's longest stage was 239.8 kilometres between Bad Neustadt and Mannheim. The parcours was once again suited to the sprinters, and that was how the stage finished. A dangerous attack went with 40 kilometres to go, including Swiss Christian Heule (Post Swiss) and Dutchman Paul van Schalen (Batavus), but they could not resist the teams of the sprinters, who brought it back together with 3 kilometres to go. Erik Zabel was denied his 7th win in the past nine days, but Freire's excellent sprint moved him from 67th to 2nd on GC. Tomorrow there will be two stages, a 92 kilometre leg from Mannheim to Heppenheim in the morning, followed by a 27.2 kilometre time trial from Weinheim to Heppenheim in the afternoon. The race finishes on Monday in Stuttgart.
