Kroon captures final stage as Columbia sweeps the podium
By Susan Westemeyer
Karsten Kroon of Team CSC won the sprint of an escape group to claim the final stage of the Sachsen Tour, but it was Team Columbia which dominated the final podium. Bert Grabsch won the race, followed by team-mates Michael Rogers and Tony Martin in second and third. Second place on the stage went to Johannes Fröhlinger (Gerolsteiner) and Clemens Frankhauser Elk Haus-Simplon of Team Elk Haus was third.
"I am happy that we brought the yellow jersey in on this hot stage and over the nasty Erzgebirge climbs, and I want to thank my team for its good work," Grabsch said. It was the first overall victory for the 33 year-old in his 11-year career. Grabsch, who is German national time trial champion, took the lead by winning the Sachsen Tour's time trial on Saturday, and he will ride the time trial in the upcoming Beijing Olympics.
Linus Gerdemann and André Greipel rounded out Columbia's showing in the final standing, finishing respectively seventh and tenth. That easily gave Columbia the team title. The stage was marked by a six-man escape group, which got away at kilometre 35. Five of the riders were able to stay away until the finish with only a 15-second lead over the onrushing peloton.
The sprint of the peloton was won by Greipel, who had previously won two stages. The mountain jersey went to Dmitry Kozuntchuk (Rabobank) and the sprint jersey to Malaya von Ruitenbeek of Kuota Senges. Kozuntchuk also won the combination competition, and the best young rider was Sergej Fuchs (Team 3C - Gruppe Lamonta).
