Zabel takes the first stage for first season victory
By Susan Westemeyer
Erik Zabel sprinted to his first win of the season and his first for his new Team Milram Wednesday in the first stage of the Bayern Rundfahrt. "It doesn't matter if it's the old team or the new team: Wins are always like holidays. Today everyone on the team worked it out just like we had planned it. There are simply some days where you can say, it just doesn't get any better," bubbled the happy winner.
The day was marked by a long solo flight by Pieter Ghyllebert from Team Chocolade Jacques, who broke away after 30 km and built up a lead of up to 14 minutes. When the peloton finally decided to get down to business, his lead "melted in the sun like his sponsor's chocolate," as the race organisers put it. The young Belgian stayed alone for the first lap of the final circuit, but he was overtaken on the last lap. Milram's sprint train took charge and Sebastian Siedler set up the sprint for his captain Zabel so well that he was able to claim third place for himself, behind Gerolsteiner's Rene Haselbacher.
The race also marked the return of T-Mobile's Andreas Klöden to racing after surgery on a shoulder injury suffered in a training accident. He finished 85th, about 30 seconds down. "Andreas' condition is good. The last three kilometres before the finish were a little steep. He didn't want to take any chances and went a little slower," said directeur sportif Valerio Piva.
Thursday's second stage runs 201 kilometres from Starnberg to Grassau, and includes two Cat. I mountains.
