French rider Nicolas Vogondy (FDJeux.com) won the final stage of the Rothaus Regio Tour on his 27th birthday, beating Stéphane Auge and Geoffroy Lequatre (both Credit Agricole) in a small group sprint. Race leader Alexandre Vinokourov (T-Mobile) retained his leader's jersey on the final day and took home the big prize as the overall winner.

The last stage of the Regio-Tour went over 177 km from Herbolzheim to Vogtsburg. After having reached Vogtsburg for the first time, the riders had to do six laps until they were finally allowed to cross the finish line. On each of these laps, they had to cross the "Texas pass", a very steep mountain pass situated in the middle of the famous Kaiserstuhl, the so called "German Toscana", the hottest spot in Germany. And it was hot: 33 degrees celsius in the shade, but there hardly was any shade on the road...

The prize is huge

A breakaway group of eight riders escaped early from the peloton. Eventual winner Nicolas Vogondy (FDJeux.com) was one of them. The peloton was well controlled by the T-Mobile Team whose leader Alexandre Vinokourov was never in danger of losing his yellow jersey.

Birthday boy Nicolas Vogondy was the first to cross the finish line in Vogtsburg ahead of Stéphane Augé (Credit Agricole) and made himself the best present for his special day. Vinokourov won the 20th Rothaus Regio-Tour International, following in the footsteps of his teammate Jan Ullrich, who won the Tour in 1996.
