Greipel wins stage, assumes lead at Bayern Rundfahrt
By Monika Prell in Mühldorf am Inn
André Greipel of Team Columbia-Highroad sprinted to victory in the opening stage of Germany's Bayern Rundfahrt stage race, covering 196.3 kilometres from Kelheim to Mühldorf am Inn. Garmin-Slipstream's Christopher Sutton finished second while Fabian Wegmann (Team Milram) placed third. The win also earned Greipel the first leader's jersey of the five-day stage race.
"I'm pleased because this is my first-ever participation in the Bayern Rundfahrt, it's part of my comeback from being injured this Spring and it's all going really well," said Greipel. "It was a tricky finish with a bit of a climb in the final kilometre, around 10 to 12 percent, but I came through fine."
Greipel paid tribute to his team-mates who were instrumental in Greipel taking his third win of the season.
"It was a real group effort that helped me win today. We saved a lot of energy by letting the other teams go after the break of the day, and then we went all out to get me in position for the bunch sprint," said Greipel. "In the last 600 metres, where it flattened out, [teammates] Marcel Sieberg and Tony Martin gave me a great lead-out. With 250 metres to go I could start my own sprint and I went for it. I wanted to come back in top condition, winning from the moment I started racing again, and that's exactly what I've done."
Greipel isn't too optimistic about defending his race lead in Thursday's hilly 173.6-kilometre stage from Mühldorf am Inn to Ruhpolding. "It is probably too hilly for me. However, we've got a lot of good all-rounders and climbers here in the team, and I'm sure that they'll be able to be in the thick of the action on the big climbs."
The stage started in the little town of Kelheim, with 111 riders taking to the road after the sign-on ceremony. Initial attacks were countered by the peloton, but Jonas Schmeiser (Team Mapei Heizomat) and Martin Reimer (Cérvelo Test team) attacked after nine kilometres and gained 7:15 minutes by the first sprint at 32.5 kilometres.
Riders completed their first pass of Dreifaltigkeitsberg, a second category climb, at kilometre 69. Schmeiser took the mountain points ahead of Reimer and Thomas de Gendt (Topsport Vlaanderen).
The riders passed the mountain a second time after completing a nine kilometre loop, and Schmeiser was able to beat his breakaway mate once more. Third this time was Schmeiser's team-mate David Hesselbarth.
The two leaders developed an eight minute lead before Milram and Euskaltel - Euskadi reacted to reel them back. Reimer won the intermediate sprint ahead of Schmeiser and Hans Dekkers in Dingolfing.
The peloton struggled to recapture the leaders, who were working well together and maintained a 4:30 minute margin. The pair came undone however as the race reached a 10 percent gradient climb in Mühldorf.
Columbia and Corratec worked to keep the peloton together once the breakaway riders had been absorbed. Showing he's fully recovered from his Tour Down Under injuries, Greipel was too quick for Chris Sutton (Garmin-Slipstream) and Fabian Wegmann (Team Milram).
Tomorrow's second stage from Mühldorf am Inn to Ruhpolding over 173.6 kilometers includes two intermediate sprints and two chances to grab king of the mountains points, both category one climbs. Greipel's team has its work set out for it if it intends on keeping the German in the leader's jersey.
