Stage 4 - May 27: Einzelzeitfahren Plattling - Deggendorf ITT, 25.4 km
Beat Zberg takes the time trial
By Susan Westemeyer
There was another surprise winner at the Bayern Rundfahrt, as Gerolsteiner's Beat Zberg surprised even himself by winning the 25,4 km individual time trial. He finished a whole 32 seconds before the second-placed Jose Alberto Martinez of Agritubel, who was in turn 2 seconds faster than T-Mobile's Andreas Klöden. "I would never have thought that I would do so well, but the course suited me," said the Swiss rider. "After my not-so-great spring, I now think that my form is good for the Tour de Suisse."
Zberg is now second in the GC, nine seconds behind Martinez, who took over the leader's jersey from Gerhard Trampusch. The Austrian finished 41st on the day and fell to 16th overall. He had an adventurous ride, though - as he was going down the ascent near the end of the time trial, a deer jumped in front of him. It ran across the road and disappeared, so that Trampusch received only the shock of seeing the animal.
T-Mobile directeur sportif Valerio Piva was very happy with Klöden's performance, saying he "rode very well" and "right now is at about 80 percent" of his ability. The race marks Klöden's return after a training crash and subsequent shoulder operation.
Sunday's final stage runs 163,5 km from Plattling to Cham and includes a Cat.1 and a Cat. 2 climb.
