Garcia wins third stage, Ullrich confirms he will DNF

CSC-Tiscali's Marcellino Garcia Alonso has won the third stage of the Hessen-Rundfahrt, 174 kilometres from Bad Hersfeld to Borken. After a 150 kilometres solo breakaway, Garcia finished 18 seconds in front of Robert Förster (Nürnberger) and Gerrit Glomser (Post Swiss), and a group of 11 others, with the main peloton containing the favourites for GC coming in at 48 seconds. Race leader Jan Ullrich is still in yellow, but will abandon the race tomorrow to honour his commitment in the GP Eddy Merckx on Sunday.

"I will stop, because during the Tour de France I already gave my promise to start to the organizers of the GP Eddy Merckx in Belgium," said Ullrich afterwards. He will ride with Andreas Klöden on Sunday, and the pair will certainly be one of the favourites in that race.

That will leave the gate open for the other main contenders, which include Ullrich's teammate Matthias Kessler, Fakta's Scott Sunderland and Morten Sonne, CSC's Michael Blaudzun, Nürnberger's Christian Werner and Ralph Scherzer (Austrian National Team). Tomorrow afternoon's 30.9 km time trial will prove decisive in breaking up these six riders.
