Bennati finishes with three stage wins

Italian Daniele Bennati has won his third stage of the 2005 Deutschland Tour by crossing the line first in stage 9, after 168 kilometres of racing between Bad Kreuznach and former German capital Bonn. In the final bunch sprint, the Lampre-Caffita rider beat Baden Cooke (Francaise des Jeux), with Fabian Cancellara (Fassa Bortolo) getting third.
"Our team controlled the race all day to bring Daniele to the sprint and we won!," said a very happy Guido Bontempi, Lampre-Caffita directeur sportif in the finish. "We are really satisfied and happy."
Overall winner Leipheimer shared the feeling. "It's great to win here," the 31-year old said. "The race has matured, and it's one of the best races in the world now. It's very well organised, the roads are safe, and the spectators are incredible - for example, the Tour of Spain never has that many crowds. It's truly a great race."
Leipheimer, as well as winning the leader's jersey, also took stage four on this season's highest mountain finish, the dreaded Rettenbachferner, as well as the overall mountains classification.
Second-placed Jan Ullrich, who won yesterday's time trial, was satisfied with his performances. "I would have liked to win - I lacked 31 seconds in the end, and that's a pity," the Kaiser said. "But I'm very satisfied given the circumstances. I didn't expect to get on the podium as my illness really handicapped me."
How it unfolded
|
Nothing much happened on stage nine until the race finale, as Gerolsteiner and Lampre-Caffita led the peloton and controlled the pace along the Rhine river and no attacks could be made. In the intermediate sprints, the later stage winner Bennati consolidated his jersey of the best sprinter, but the bunch stayed together for more than 140 kilometres, after the very first break attempt by T-Mobile's Steffen Wesemann and Phonak's Alexandre Moos didn't get through.
But as the bunch hit the last circuit around Bonn with 25 kilometres to go, there was finally some action: T-Mobile's Steffen Wesemann attacked, and Quick.Step's Wilfried Cretskens took his wheel. After the two got a small gap of 15 seconds, Lampre reacted and started the chase, Daniele Righi in first position. Predictably, the seconds didn't last, and as Cofidis' Frédéric Bessy joined them with 15 kilometres to go, the peloton was right behind them.
|
The next attack was made by T-Mobile's Matthias Kessler, still without a contract for 2006, but Lampre reeled them in, too. T-Mobile was looking to disrupt Lampre's plans as the finish was right in front of their sponsor's headquarters in Bonn, but didn't succeed. The tempo was incredibly high as one could see Jörg Jaksche always in the very first positions, with Georg Totschnig on his wheel. It was clear that the third spot on the podium was still up for discussion... Both of them even were in front of the bunch with four clicks to go, as Nico Mattan (Davitamon-Lotto) also tried his luck - in vain.
Then, CSC hammered in front with four riders, Voigt in very first position. Soon after, Lampre's Alessandro Ballan came up to lead out for Bennati, and the sprinters got into position. But Bennati came off Ballan's wheel with 300 metres to go and easily outsprinted anybody else, clearly showing that he was the fastest man in the race.
