Stage 9 - June 20: Lugano - Lugano, 25.6km
Ullrich...by a second!
Jeker comes up short in final kilometres
|
In an incredible, nail biting finish of the 68th Tour de Suisse, German Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) has claimed the overall victory by a solitary second over Swiss favourite Fabian Jeker (Saunier Duval). The final stage - a 25.6 km time trial in Lugano - was expected to favour Ullrich, and the multiple World TT Champion did not disappoint, clocking 31'36.54 to win the stage by eight seconds from Laszlo Bodrogi (Quick.Step-Davitamon) and Fabian Cancellara (Fassa Bortolo). Jeker started the day with a 41 second buffer over Ullrich, but faded in the final kilometres and ended up losing 0'42, which cost him the golden jersey.
|
In a historical context, the last time the Tour de Suisse was decided by such a small margin was in 1987 when Andy Hampsten beat Peter Winnen by one second. And this year's win by Ullrich was the first German victory in the Tour de Suisse since Hans Junkermann in 1962.
"I had hopes for the time trial and was aiming for the victory, but I did not expect that I would pull back the 41 seconds on the general classification," said Ullrich, who wore the gold jersey for the first six stages before Jeker took it from him in Stage 7. "When I was under way I didn't believe I would succeed. At the beginning, the wind blew from behind and the parcours was not as hard as I thought. Now I'm pleased with my win, because I have fought also a little for Vinokourov in this race - we all miss him. To win the Tour de Suisse is a great highlight."
With two weeks to go before the start of the Tour, Ullrich was very happy with this morale boost. "That was the perfect preparation and another push for the motivation in the direction of the Tour," he said. "I have always said that the Tour de France is the most important for me. Thus I have put everything else at a lower level."

Last year, Ullrich finished 7th in the Tour de Suisse, losing 2'27 to winner Alexandre Vinokourov. His performance in this year's race is a marked improvement from 2003, especially in the mountain stages. "In the hard stages I definitely noticed how I was improving more and more. I was always sure that my form was on the right track, but I did not expect these successes at this point in time."
Fabian Jeker was extremely disappointed at his loss, after having taken time out of Ullrich in the previous two stages. "I know that Ullrich is an excellent time trialist, but of course I hoped that I would hold him off by a few seconds," said the Swiss rider. "Five kilometres before the finish I was going well, but at the end I was out of energy. Of course a victory here would have been the greatest thing for me, but I have lost to a great champion and will therefore accept my defeat."
In third place overall was Dario David Cioni (Fassa Bortolo), who had started the day only one second behind Georg Totschnig on GC, and managed a time that was seven seconds quicker than the Austrian to finish 14th on the day. "I am clearly very satisfied with my first podium finish in an important stage race," said Cioni, who also finished fourth in the last Giro d'Italia and fifth in the Tour de Romandie.

"I am particularly satisfied with my consistency. I think I'm the only rider who has been strong for the last two months until today. Now I'll return home and on Tuesday I'll ride the Italian time trial championships. I'm going there without special ambitions. I don't do too many time trials and every occasion is a good chance to improve and gain experience."
Ullrich's two stage wins also gave him the points jersey ahead of Jeker and Robert Hunter (Rabobank), who had to be content with the Postfinance sprints jersey. Bekim Christensen (CSC) won the Feldschlosschen sprints classification and Niki Aebersold (Phonak) took home the Nutella mountains jersey. Phonak was also the best placed in the teams classification, but missed out on the individual GC as Oscar Camenzind was the best Phonak rider in 9th overall.
Thus ends a very hard, very wet and very tightly contested Tour de Suisse. Can Jan Ullrich repeat Lance Armstrong's 2001 feat of winning the Tour de Suisse-Tour de France double? We'll know in five weeks' time.
