Schumacher holds on to win, Siedler surprises in sprint
Sebastian Siedler of Team Milram was the surprise winner of the final stage of the Bayern Rundfahrt, surprising himself more than anyone else. Gerolsteiner's Stefan Schumacher sucessfully defended his overall lead and won the race, ahead of T-Mobile's Bert Grabsch and Jens Voigt of CSC.
Schumacher laid the basis for his win when he won Saturday's time trial. "When I saw the profile for the Bayern Rundfahrt, it was clear that the victory would depend on the time trial, because the mountains weren't really deciding. The mountains weren't difficult enough to make the difference. We said that we would hold the field together and see that we win the Rundfahrt at the time trial. "
Siedler was actually trying to prepare the sprint for teammate Erik Zabel, who finished second in the stage, as the two crossed the finish line together. "We both rode forward as usual and in the end, I didn't know which one of us had won," he said. "I was a little afraid that someone would overtake us from behind and tried to bring Erik all the way to the finish line. I didn't have any idea that I was the first over the line. I only found out later. But the important thiag is that one of us won." It was Siedler's first win in nearly three years.
Zabel, who won two stages earlier in the race, said, "Sebastian was damned fast today, no question. In the last two years that we have been together at Milram, he has prepared sprints for me really well, and is now so strong that he is capable of winning such stages himself. The win today -- I am really happy for him."
Once again an escape group stayed away much of the stage. Aivaras Baranauskas (Agritubel), Anders Lund (CSC) and Konstantin Schubert of Team Regiostrom-Senges built up a lead of over six minutes, but Gerolsteiner didn't let them get further away. The peloton caught them on the last of 10 laps of the final circuit.
Zabel took home two stage wins and the sprinter's jersey. Gerolsteiner's Fabian Wegmann lost the mountain jersey underway during the final stage to Schubert, who won three of the day's mountain rankings. The best young rider was Peter Velits of Wiesenhof-Felt, and CSC won the team ranking.
