Zabel wins longest stage in perfect style
Zulle faces his toughest test tomorrow against the clock
By Jeff Jones

Erik Zabel has come out of the Tour de Suisse with another two stage wins and the perfect preparation for the Tour de France. The Telekom top man today left no room for doubt as he came off Gian Matteo Fagnini's wheel with 150 metres to go to finish a bike length ahead of Sven Teutenberg (Phonak) and Andrej Hauptmann (Tacconi). With just the time trial to come tomorrow, Zabel can relax with the knowledge that he is once again in the right condition for the Tour de France, and a possible seventh Green Jersey.
Interviewed after the stage, Zabel looked very happy with his result, his 13th win so far this season. "We went past the finish line twice so it wasn't so hard," commented the man who makes sprinting seem so straightforward.
Of the rest of the stage, which was 225 kilometres, Zabel said that "Today was very, very long, but it was nice weather, a bit too warm. It's been a hard Tour de Suisse, with many climbs and warm weather, but good preparation for the tour."
The time trial tomorrow will be "a day of training and relative calm" said Zabel who certainly has no ambitions for the general classification.
 |
One man who does is the race leader Alex Zulle, who goes into tomorrow's 34.5 kilometre time trial from Lyss to Biel with a 3 second lead over Laurent Dufaux (Alessio) and 19 seconds on Piotr Wadecki (Domo), who Zulle believes is his biggest threat. That could be the case as the Pole has shown excellent form throughout this tour, especially on the climbs. However, Zulle is a specialist against the clock and knows how to measure his effort perfectly, and will be extremely hard to beat.
He did lose 6 seconds today after finishing in the second group, while Dufaux and Wadecki both made the front group.
How it unfolded
Today's longest stage started in Vevey and finished in Lyss after 235 kilometres of gently undulating countryside. 105 riders started in warm, sunny conditions, with the big absentee being Italian champion Daniele Nardello, who may well be getting ready to defend his title on Sunday.
After a very calm start, things began to get animated around the 50 kilometre mark, when several groups tried to get away. After 78 kilometres, three riders succeeded: Salvatore Commesso (Saeco), Leif Hoste (Domo) and Matthew Wilson (Francaise des Jeux). The trio gradually built up their advantage, with Team Coast content to let them go for a while on such a long day. The break got a maximum lead of 8'05 at kilometre 126, but there were still 109 kilometres left to hold onto that gap.
Phonak and Telekom got to the front to start the hunt, bringing down the gap bit by bit. Wilson was dropped from the break with 55 km to go, and went back to the peloton to work for his sprinter Jimmy Casper. Commesso and Hoste continued, but Hoste couldn't follow on the Cat. 4 climb of Lobsigen with 32 km to go, and let Commesso try for a solo win. The lead at that stage was down to 3'21 and falling rapdily.
Phonak, Telekom and Francaise des Jeux led the chase and Commesso was finally caught by Santos Gonzalez (Acqua e Sapone) with 6 km to go. From then on the bunch stayed together with the various sprinters teams trying and failing to dislodge Telekom from the front. But Bobby Julich, Rolf Aldag and Steffen Wesemann kept their cool and guided Zabel and Fagnini all the way to the finish. Wesemann started the sprint, then Fagnini took over, and finally Zabel went with 150m to go to win well in front of Teutenberg.
