Knees takes the overall and Haussler the final stage

Heinrich Haussler of Team Gerolsteiner took his first win of the season in the mass sprint of the final stage of the Bayern Rundfahrt, and Christian Knees of Milram claimed the overall title which he took over in the previous day's time trial. Second on the stage was Giovanni Bernadeau (Bouygues Telecom) and third was Mikail Chalilow (Ceramica Flaminia). The overall rankings finished as they were established in the time trial, with Andreas Dietziker (Team Volksbank) second and Niki Terpstra of Milram third.
Knees had only a three-second lead over Dietziker going into the stage, and a third place finish would have given the Swiss rider for the Austrian team enough time bonuses to take the overall win. With that in mind, he took off with 300 meters to go. Knees was unable to keep up with him and could only hope for the best. Dietziker finished fourth in the stage, just missing out on the time bonuses.
"That is fantastic. The overall win is the reward for our whole team," said Knees. "When we had to make tempo at the end, seven of us went into the lead and together we caught the breakaway group. I would like to thank my team for that. I had my eye closely on Andreas Dietziker in the finale. He attacked and sprinted away to the right, and I could not hold his rear wheel, but could only hope that it would be enough for me. When he let his head hang, I knew that I had won. Overall, the race was a lot of fun, there was always a good mood along the way. Together, we will now celebrate this success."

Dietziker was not too unhappy, saying "Second place is good, too, and a sign that I am on the right track. Who would have thought that I could get such a good place in a sprint? Unbelievable, but ambition and motivation make it possible."
The stage started out fast and Milram held the peloton together, riding down all breakaways, until kilometre 55. A five-man strong group got away, which included Bert Grabsch of Team High Road, whose brother, Ralf, was in the race for Milram. Bert Grabsch came into the stage only 1:12 behind Knees, and as the group got and maintained a two-minute lead, moved into the "virtual" yellow jersey. But with about three kilometres to go, the group was absorbed back into the peloton, setting up the bunch sprint.
Niki Terpstra of Milram took the young rider's jersey, with the mountain jersey going to Thomas Rohregger of Elk Haus, and the sprinter's jersey went to Gerald Ciolek of High Road.
