Day 2 - July 1: Road races, 199.3/107.3 km

Wegmann wins title

Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner) won the men's German national title by outsprinting his breakaway partner Patrik Sinkewitz of T-Mobile. After winning the U23 title in 2001 he added the professional title to his palmarès.

The decisive move came in lap one of 13 when 24 riders slipped off the front, never to be seen again until the finish. With names like Wegmann, Sinkewitz, Knees and especially Jens Voigt (CSC), who did a lot of turns on the front, in the group it was always going to be hard for the main field to catch, despite riders like Erik Zabel, Stefan Schumacher or Linus Gerdemann in there.

But the major teams (Gerolsteiner, T-Mobile, Milram) were all present in the break so there was no need to chase from behind and 80 kilometres from the finish the lead was up to 15(!) minutes.

Sinkewitz, Voigt and Wegmann then attacked out of the lead group with less than three laps remaining. Voigt soon paid for his earlier efforts and couldn't hold the other two. Wegmann won the sprint against Sinkewitz, who had taken "Rund um den Henninger Turm" earlier this year.

The two finished 49 seconds ahead of the chasers, who were led in by Christian Knees of Milram.

Fabian Wegmann is always doing well in the German Championships, finishing third twice (2003 and 2004) and getting fourth last year.

Keller wins solo

In the women's race 22 year-old Luise Keller surprised the favourites and won solo in front of Claudia Häusler and Angela Brodtka, both of Team Nürnberger, who won the championships in the last four years.
