Deutschland Tour - 2.2
Germany, May 31-June 6, 2004
Stage 1 - May 31: Karlsruhe - Karlsruhe ITT, 23 km
Rich wins opening TT
Ullrich a strong second
|
Time trial specialist Michael Rich (Gerolsteiner) has won the first stage of the Tour of Germany, a 23 km race against the clock in Karlsruhe. The powerful German clocked 27:20.87 for his ride, averaging nearly 52 km/h to beat compatriots Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) and Uwe Peschel (Gerolsteiner) by 25 and 29 seconds respectively.
"It was an ideal parcours and I had super legs today," said a very happy Rich after the finish. "If I could pick my own course, it would be this one. Karlsruhe is always a good road for me. It's a crazy feeling to beat Jan Ullrich in your own land in front of the public. I said to my wife a few days ago, Rich in front of Ullrich, that would be an ideal result."
Rich said that he was motivated when he saw his minute man Jens Voigt in front of him, and he nearly overtook the CSC man before the finish. The 85 kg Gerolsteiner rider will try to defend the jersey until the third stage in the mountains. "I don't have any thoughts about the general classification yet, but will defend it for as long as possible," he said.

In his second race back after a break, Jan Ullrich surprised even himself with his second place, which also gave him the polka dotted mountains jersey as he had the fastest time at the highest point of the parcours. "I didn't count on that," he said afterwards. "Look at this [pointing to his polka dot jersey and joking], how does someone who weighs 120 kg get over the mountains. The bad period is over. I don't have to win the Tour of Mallorca if I want to be in front in the Tour de France. I'm looking forward to the Tour of Germany now. It's nice that it goes through the Alps. There I will test my form."
The Tour of Germany's second stage will be from Bad Urach to Wangen im Allgäu over 180 km and should be one for the sprinters.
