Klemme surprises with fourth season win
By Bjorn Haake
21 year-old Dominic Klemme (Team 3C-Gruppe) scored a surprise win in the second stage of the Regio Tour. Klemme beat speedster Steffen Radochla (Elk Haus - Simplon) and Claudio Cucinotta (LPR Brakes) in a sprint of about 30 riders. The winner crossed the line with a loud victory yell and a big grin on his face.
Yellow jersey Manuel Vazquez (Contentpolis Murcia) was also in that group and continues to lead the overall classification. After the stage Klemme emphasised how pleased he was with his year so far. "It is my fourth season victory, things are going really well for me." Klemme kept his cool and stayed on Radochla's wheel as long as possible, before sprinting to his biggest success in his young career. The slightly uphill finish worked to Klemme's advantage.
In the overall Milram's Björn Schröder received more time bonuses and is now only two seconds off the general classification leader. Schröder also is still leading the points classification. New leader in the mountains classification is Luca Zanasca, who traded places with Vazquez.
The day was dominated by a dozen riders, but their gap never grew to a significant enough margin. The group formed 30 kilometres from the start and was caught 30 kilometres from the finish. Immediately after the junction, 32 riders took off and reached the finish a minute ahead of the others.
