Zberg surprises in l'Ain

By Susan Westemeyer

Beat Zberg of Team Gerolsteiner won the first stage of the Tour de l'Ain, breaking out of a 13-man escape group to take the win and the overall lead. He finished six seconds ahead of Niels Brouzes (Auber 93) and Giovanni Visconti of Quick.Step-Innergetic.

"That was a great beginning. Beat is very satisfied with the results, and I am, too, of course," said Gerolsteiner Directeur Sportif Christian Wegmann. "Beat's success is a little surprising, since he is coming off a racing break. But it's great that it is going so well."

A 14-man escape group formed early and got up to two-and-a-half minutes lead, which wasn't enough. They were overtaken on the last climb, and a new escape group formed, which managed to stay away until the end, finishing nearly two minutes ahead of the next following group.

The race saw the return of T-Mobile's Michael Barry, who dropped out of the Tour de France with a shoulder injury. He finished in the first following group.

Monday's second stage runs 164 km from Lagnieu to Plastics Vallee/Bellignat.
