Stage 2 - June 15: Nuth-Nuth ITT, 11 km
Rich in yellow
|
With a win in the afternoon's time trial stage around Nuth, German Michael Rich (Gerolsteiner) has taken over the yellow jersey in the Ster Elektrotoer. Rich rode the flat course in 13.08, an average speed of 50.25 km/h. In second place at 9 second with a great ride was Nick Nuyens (QuickStep), the overall winner of the Ster Elektrotoer in 2004. Thomas Dekker (Rabobank) finished third at 14 seconds.
I am of course very satisfied and confident that it is going well," said Rich after his win. "Normally it takes me about 10 kilometres to get into the right rhythm. But I can also do shorter distances."
