Stage 4 - June 3: Bad Tölz - Landshut, 190 km
Hinault surprises himself
|
Frenchman Sébastien Hinault (Credit Agricole) surprised many - not the least himself - by coming around Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros) to win the fourth stage of the Tour of Germany in Landshut. The stage finished in a bunch sprint, and after Davis led out early, Hinault was able to come round him in the final metres to take the win. Belgian Tom Boonen (Quick.Step-Davitamon) was third, while his teammate Patrik Sinkewitz kept the yellow leader's jersey.
"I am even surprised," said Hinault post-stage. "But I was in a good position and just went for it."
Race leader Patrik Sinkewitz commented that, "My team controlled the race and at the end, we still tried to bring Boonen forward."
How it unfolded
|
Today's stage was a regulation sprinters' stage between Bad Tölz on the German/Austrian border and Landshut over 190 km. Containing just one Cat. 3 climb at the halfway point, the only thing that was likely to split up the peloton was the weather, which was wet for much of the day.
The attacks began from the drop of the flag and didn't stop until km 25 when Thorwald Veneberg and Joost Posthuma (Rabobank), Jose Vicente García Acosta (Illes Balears), Stéphane Augé (Credit Agricole) and Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner) were able to get away. They were chased by Nico Eeckhout (Lotto-Domo), who managed to close the gap at the 50 km mark, forming a group of six in front. At this stage, the peloton was rolling along 3'00 back, controlled by the Quick.Step-Davitamon team which had two objectives: to protect Sinkewitz's yellow and to set up the stage for a bunch sprint for Tom Boonen.
|
The gap grew to 4'30 after 76 km, but with Quick.Step keeping a tight rein on the situation, the six leaders were not allowed any more freedom. T-Mobile and Liberty Seguros came to the part with 75 km to go to assist the chase, and although the leaders were averaging around 43 km/h mark, they couldn't keep clear of the watchful peloton.
The sprinters teams lifted their tempo and with 40 km to go, the gap was down to just 2'25. With 30 km to go, the leaders started attacking each other and it was Garcia Acosta and Veneberg who got clear of their companions and were able to stay away the longest. The chase behind did not abate, and even Jan Ullrich took his turn into the wind to help Erik Zabel's chances. With 12 km to go, the leading pair still had a minute, but they lost all of their advantage in the next 7 km and with 5 km to go, the field was together and winding up for a bunch sprint.
|
Alongside T-Mobile (Zabel), Quick.Step (Boonen) and Liberty (Davis), Gerolsteiner also tried to set up a train for Danilo Hondo. In the last kilometre, Hondo was well placed while Zabel was on Boonen's wheel. However, the German got boxed in and when Guidi (CSC) started the sprint from a long way out, Allan Davis jumped and got a big gap. The Australian almost held it to the finish until Hinault pipped him on the line, with Boonen taking third.
