Stage 7 - June 6: Chemnitz - Leipzig, 170 km
Dual celebration for Quick.Step
Sinkewitz clinches overall; Boonen wins last stage
|
The Quick.Step-Davitamon team has triumphed again in the Tour of Germany, with 23 year old Patrik Sinkewitz taking the biggest win of his career in claiming the overall honours of his national tour. Sinkewitz, who won Stage 3, finished 18 seconds clear of Jens Voigt (CSC) and 23 ahead of Jan Hruska (Liberty) at the end of the week long race. And in an added bonus for the team, Quick.Step's Tom Boonen won the final stage in Leipzig, ahead of Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner) and Sebastian Siedler (Wiesenhof).
"In the past few days I've lived a dream," said a delighted Sinkewitz post-stage. "I am happy, it is the most beautiful day of my life. I want to thank the whole team for the help that it has given me in all the stages. For me it's an honour to win the main race of my country. Now I will rest, then I will think about the Tour de Suisse. I would like to do well in Switzerland."
|
Tom Boonen was similarly happy, taking his 11th win of the season in a bunch sprint. "This morning I thought about being tired," he said. "In the last two days I worked a lot to help Patrik. Kilometre by kilometre I realised that I had good legs and that I could try to win. I want to say thanks to Zanini and the whole team that piloted me very well in the final part of the stage.
"In this first part of season I have won eleven races beating so many great sprinters. I would now like to be able to see how I go against Petacchi, the only one who I have not competed against. During the Tour de France I hope to have the opportunity to try to make a great sprint against him."
How it unfolded
The final stage from Chemnitz to Leipzig over 170 km wasn't expected to present any problems for Sinkewitz and the Quick.Step team. Containing just one Cat. 2 climb after 22 km, the stage was mostly flat and was run at a high average speed. After 8 km, a group of four riders managed to get clear and spent most of the stage in front. The four were Lars Wackernagel (Wiesenhof), Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner), Michael Sandstřd (CSC) and Joost Posthuma (Rabobank), all of whom were nearly half an hour or more behind the yellow jersey.

Wackernagel took the points atop the Hohenstein-Ernstthal after 22.6 km, by which stage the break already had a 5'35 lead. At the same time, Sinkewitz had effectively won the mountains classification, as there were no more climbs to be done today. By kilometre 40, the leaders had 11'40 over the peloton, at which time the speed began to pick up in order to stabilise the gap.
T-Mobile started the chase, before Liberty Seguros came to lend a hand with 100 km to go, at which point the break still had over 11 minutes. With 90 km left, the gap started to come down below 10 minutes, and from then on it was slow but gradual capture of the break by the peloton.
With approximately 13 km to go when the gap was down to a minute, Michael Sandstřd attacked the lead group and dropped his companions. Sandstřd led Wackernagel, Posthuma and Lang by 18 seconds at the second crossing of the finish line with 12 km to go, but the peloton was closing in fast.
Liberty Seguros, Quick.Step-Davitamon and T-Mobile led the charge, sweeping up Sandstřd with 4 km to go and setting things up for a big bunch sprint. Illes Balears took over with 1 km to go, then T-Mobile with Klier and Vinokourov leading out Zabel. But once again, Allan Davis (Liberty) got the early jump on the field and was overtaken by Boonen, who maintained his advantage all the way to the line to win ahead of Hondo.
