German Patrik Sinkewitz (T-Mobile) won his country's 47th Rund um den Henninger Turm. The 26 year-old collected his biggest win since the 2004 Deutschland Tour by finishing four seconds ahead of Norwegian Kurt-Asle Arvesen (Team CSC) and five over Italian Dario Cataldo (Liquigas).

Although T-Mobile had two leaders in Linus Gerdemann and sprinter Gerald Ciolek, it was Sinkewitz who profited from the team's dominance by escaping in the last kilometre with Arvesen and neo-pro Cataldo.

Closing in on the trio were Elnathan Heizmann and Danilo Wyss, with the favourites led by Milram at 25 seconds.
