Haselbacher wins Gerolsteiner's Tour
By Susan Westemeyer
Rene Haselbacher won the Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt, which could also be called Gerolsteiner's own tour. The team won two of the five stages and has now won the overall tour in three of the last five years. Steven Caethoven of Chocolade Jacques sprinted to win the last stage ahead of T-Mobile's Olaf Pollack and double stage winner Andre Greipel.
Haselbacher has been plagued by illness and injuries the last few years. Before his stage win this week, his last win had been a stage in the 2003 Rheinland-Pflaz Rundfahrt. "It is a great feeling, to stand up here on top again," the happy winner said. "He's really good right now, a strong performance," said his directeur sportif Udo Bölts.
Pablo Urtusan of Kaiku finished second overall. T-Mobile's Thomas Ziegler took the third place, which he had occupied previously before falling to fourth on Saturday.
