Dekker takes stage and lead
Thomas Dekker of Rabobank outsprinted Christian Pfannberger of Team Elk-Haus and his team-mate Michael Boogerd to win the second stage of the 3-Länder Tour and take over the leader's jersey. They were part of a six-man escape group which finished nearly 12 minutes ahead of the peloton.
"A very good day," said Rabobank Directeur Sportif Erik Dekker. "We did well on three points: the stage, the overall and the proof that Thomas and Boogie are in great shape for the Worlds."
The deciding escape group formed about half way into the stage. It consisted of Dekker, Pfannberger, Boogerd, Samuel Plouhinec (Ag2r) , and Jens Voigt and Frank Schleck, both of CSC. They quickly built up a lead which the peloton was unable to conquer.
The six will now be able to make out the overall winner among themselves. The defeated peloton came in 11'56 later. Marcel Barth of Thüringer Energie Team won the sprint of the peloton ahead of T-Mobile stagiaire Marcel Beima and Sven Krauss of Gerolsteiner .
Friday's third stage runs 163 km from Lollar to Frankfurt. It is mostly flat, but features the 835 meter high Feldberg, 58 km before the finish line. Another sprint finish is expected.
