Stage 3 - June 21: Domat Ems-Samnaun, 158 km
Opportunistic win for Vinokourov in Samnaun
Zülle reclaims the lead
By Jeff Jones

A modestly surprised Alexandre Vinokourov (Telekom) won the first mountain stage of the Tour de Suisse that finished in the small village of Samnaun. Vino accelerated from a lead group of seven riders with just one kilometre to go to take the stage by three seconds in front of Swiss pair Alex Zülle (Team Coast) and Laurent Dufaux (Alessio). That meant that Zülle regained the yellow leader's jersey with just a 6 second lead over Vinokourov, with Dufaux in third at 9 seconds.
"I was surprised I could stay with the leaders when Zülle and Dufaux increased the tempo," said Vinokourov after the stage. "When we came to the last kilometre, I wanted to try and attack and it worked out for me." The Kazakh added that he has no big ambitions of winning the Tour de Suisse, which he is using as preparation for the Tour de France.
There are no doubts about Alex Zülle's ambitions in the Tour de Suisse, as the Team Coast top man will not be riding the Tour after his team was overlooked. Zülle is hoping to win his national tour, and today did all the right things to get himself into the lead. Afterwards, he gave his 'road captain' Mauro Gianetti "big compliments", who kept things together on the Flüelapass and afterwards led the hunt of the breakaway riders.
Zülle's lead is quite slim at the moment, but he looked in control today, and he still has the final time trial up his sleeve to put time into his rivals. Some of those he needn't be concerned with after today: Francesco Casagrande lost 5'03, Davide Rebellin lost 5'36, Paolo Savoldelli lost 13'21, and overnight leader Eddy Lembo didn't finish.
How it unfolded
The 158 km third stage from Domat/Ems to Samnaun contained two major difficulties: the 2383m Flüelapass (km 80) and the 15 km finishing climb to Samnaun, at a height of 1828m. The latter was particularly steep at the bottom, averaging 10-13% before it 'flattened out' for the top part of the climb.
The start was typically aggressive, with a number of riders trying to get away in the opening kilometres. Eventually Gianluca Bortolami (Tacconi Sport) succeeded at km 21, and he was joined by 15 other riders shortly afterwards. The break contained some strong riders, including Serguei Ivanov (Fassa Bortolo), Giuseppe Guerini (Telekom), Daniele Nardello (Mapei), Gianluca Bortolami and Steve Zampieri (Tacconi), Alexandr Shefer (Alessio), Tobias Steinhauser (Gerolsteiner), and a Phonak trio of Martin Elmiger (Swiss champion), Marco Fertonani and Daniel Schnider.
The peloton relaxed enough to let them get a 2'15 lead at the bottom of the Flüelapass, which was a long 45 km climb, starting quite steadily but steepening in the final 16 km. Team Coast set the tempo for Zülle, with help from Fassa Bortolo, pegging the lead at around 4 minutes on the main part of the climb. It proved to be too much for Eddy Lembo, who abandoned the race after being dropped on the climb.
Over the top, Steve Zampieri led Marco Fertonani and Gianni Faresin for the mountain points, with the peloton following at 4'22. On the descent, Martin Elmiger (Phonak) put in a strong attack, and immediately gained a lot of ground on the breakaway bunch. Elmiger gradually increased his lead while the breakaway self destructed, not wanting to work anymore, allowing the peloton to catch them at the base of the final climb with 16 km to go.
Although Elmiger had over 3 minutes on the bunch, he paid dearly for his efforts, grinding his way up the steepest section and losing a lot of time. It was all over for the Swiss champion with 11 km to go, as a group of nine riders caught and passed him. The group contained Zülle, Dufaux, Luttenberger, Wadecki, Vinokourov, Tonkov, Fritsch, Di Grande and Kirchen, who were content to work together to put time into Casagrande and Rebellin.
Di Grande didn't last long, while Kirchen yo-yoed off the back for most of the climb, but still managed to come in eighth. The remaining seven stayed together as the gradient eased a little, and continued to put time into the chasers. Tonkov looked strong, but whenever he accelerated, Dufaux, Luttenberger and Zülle were right onto him.
The rain started to fall with 7 km to go and got quite heavy as the riders climbed higher. No-one was willing to make a decisive attack, and in the end it was looking like coming down to a seven man sprint. However, as they passed under the 1 km to go banner, Alex Vinokourov, who had been suffering a little at the back, put in a strong attack. Tonkov halfheartedly tried to follow, but looked at Zülle next to him and thought better of it. That was enough for Vinokourov, who hammered home to cross the line with three seconds to spare on Zülle and Dufaux.
There are still three more tough mountain stages to come in the Tour de Suisse, starting with tomorrow's 160 km leg from Chur to Ambri-Piotta. This stage also contains two tough climbs, although the finishing climb isn't quite as hard as today.
