Super-strong performance by Wegmann
|
Gerolsteiner's young climbing specialist Fabian Wegmann has won the fourth edition of the Grand Prix Schwarzwald, held over seven laps of a testing 23 km circuit. Wegmann made the front group of 12 on the second lap, and proved to be the strongest of them all, getting rid of all but three others with 70 km to go, then dropping them on the final circuit. In second place was Fortunato Baliani (Panaria), ahead of Jörg Ludewig (Domina - Vacanze) and Mitja Mahoric (Perutnina Ptuj). Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) won the bunch sprint for fifth, but was 3'42 down on the winner.
"We are naturally all very happy," said Gerolsteiner DS Christian Henn. "Above all for Fabian, it was important that he won a race again. And how he did it was bear-strong.
"It was a totally strong show of teamwork. Because we always controlled the race. We had a man in every attack. At first, the early attack was a bit risky. But Fabian was the strongest and he could fortunately pull it off."
