German day in Bavaria

The German ProTour teams flexed their muscles in the fourth stage of the Bayern Rundfahrt, as Gerolsteiner's Stefan Schumacher won the 25,9 km time trial and Milram's Christian Knees took over the leader's jersey. Second place on the stage went to Stef Clement of Bouygues Telecom and third was Cyril Lemoine of Credit Agricole.
It was the first season win for Schumacher, who had come to the race as the defending champion, but lost seven minutes on the first stage. "This is my third time here at the Bayern Rundfahrt and my third stage win," he said. "Four years ago I had my very first pro win here, and last year I had the wonderful overall win. I have been very frustrated the last few days because of my pollen allergy, I felt terrible, and was very glad yesterday when it rained. Today I could finally breathe again and it was great to win again."
Schumacher had an early starting time and set a time of 32'57 which no one could beat. As the final riders came in, the reckoning started as to who would take over the leader's jersey. At first it looked as if Andreas Dietziker of Volksbank would take it, but Knees came in one second faster than the Swiss rider and propelled himself from fifth to first place. Dietziker is now second overall, three seconds down and Knees' team-mate Niki Terpstra is third, at six seconds, giving the Dutch youngster the best young rider's jersey.

"I am incredibly happy and I think that our whole team has earned the yellow jersey with its performance," said Knees. "We are all pulling together and work very well together. Tomorrow we will do all we can to defend both jerseys. That surely won't be easy but if we continue to perform as we have so far in the Bayern Rundfahft, then we will make it."
Dietz and his Austrian Professional Continental team are going to put up a fight for the final title. "It will be a hectic finale," predicted Volksbank directeur sportif Patrick Vetsch. "Olaf Pollack will be going for his second stage win and Dietziker for the overall win. It will be hard but it's not unrealistic. It depends on how the stage goes, because our opponents won't be sleeping. The overall title would be nice but not at any price. We are well served with our performance so far in the race."
As expected, High Road's Gerald Ciolek lost the overall lead with a time 1'42 behind Schumacher, placing him 11th on the stage and fifth overall, 34 seconds down. He retained the sprinter's jersey.
Sunday's closing stage is a rolling 160 kilometres from Bad Neustadt a.d.Saale to Erlangen, and a mass sprint finish is expected.
