Sprinter Ciolek takes the mountain stage
|
The Bayern Rundfahrt is always good for a surprise and it started out with one, as sprinter Gerald Ciolek (Team High Road) took the opening mountain stage. Ciolek won the sprint from a 25-man group ahead of German champion Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner) and Karsten Kroon (CSC). The 21 year-old German also took the first leader's jersey.
"It was my first win of the season, and it's come on home soil so that makes it all the more special," Ciolek said.
"I jumped away with 300 metres to go, just after Christian Knees of Milram attacked and I got it by a bike length. I didn't have a lead-out, it was more a case of every man for himself, but I was doing ok and with 150 metres to go I knew I'd got it."
Ciolek is well known as a sprinter, but even his director didn't think the finish would suit him. "To be honest, I thought the uphill finish was too steep for him," admitted sports director Brian Holm. "But I didn't say anything, because I remembered that in the Four Days of Dunkirk [High Road team sports director] Allan Peiper had told me that Gerald got second there on a tough finishing climb."

The young German came up with a way to deliver the win. "I'd seen the climb already because we did one lap of 25 kilometres of the finishing circuit. That helped a great deal for me to plan out the right strategy to go for it," said Ciolek.
As for his chances for the overall in Bayern, Ciolek said, "I don't think I'll be able to defend the leaders' jersey beyond the time trial on Saturday, but we'll certainly do our best to keep it until then."
The day was marked by the long escape of Stefan Denifli (Team Elk Haus-Simplon). The 20 year-old took off at about km 55 and built up a lead of over six minutes before gradually being reeled back in 90 km later. Shortly thereafter the peloton headed up the Sankt Englmar climb for the first time, and on the descent a 50 man strong group formed. The high tempo slimmed the group down to about 25. Various riders tried to get away in the last five kilometres, but all were caught. Milram and Gerolsteiner led the way, but it was Ciolek who took the win.
Thursday's second stage runs 219.9 km from Straubing to Neusäß on a rolling course with one categorised climb and three intermediate sprints. Another escape group is expected, as is a mass sprint finish.
