A fine victory for Evans as Ullrich loses more time

Australian Cadel Evans showed in today's seventh stage of the Deutschland Tour that he is back to his best level, by winning the exciting mountain finish finale ahead of Saunier's Fabian Jeker and Liberty's Jörg Jaksche.

The 28 year-old outsprinted his rivals in the last kilometre, with race leader Levi Leipheimer finishing fourth. T-Mobile's Jan Ullrich lost some time again and now has to make up 1'26 in tomorrow's time trial if he still wants to win this race.

"Towards the end, Ullrich got dropped and Totschnig was dropped. They were in second and third so it was in my interest to ride," said Evans after the cold, wet and windy stage which couldn't have been nastier. "I saw my chances at 600m to go. I went with everything from there." The former mountain bike rider was really happy with his win. "I've had a good season, and been in a good position for the races. But it's been a long time to wait for a win. I hope this is a start to return to my own level."

Evans also thanked his team Davitamon-Lotto for their support. "I have a lot of thanks to give to Davitamon-Lotto," he added. "I had a bit of a rough run leading into the Tour. They've always been behind me and the good work is bearing fruit. I was surprised that Ullrich was dropped. The other day I thought he was climbing better than he was in the Tour. Today to see him dropped, for me it was good."

Asked what he made of the bad weather conditions, the 28 year-old said, "Right now at my house in Melbourne, the weather is the same. But it's winter there..."

How it unfolded

The start of today's stage seven was given in Singen at 11.55 a.m., and even then it was clear that the day would be a tough one: not only was there the dreaded finale involving two Cat. 1 climbs, but also the rain, the wind, and temperatures below 10° Celsius. The real European August seemed to be happening somewhere else, certainly not in Southwestern Germany.

There were still 126 riders present, excluding Filippo Pozzato (Quick.Step) who did not start although he was placed second in the points classification behind Daniele Bennati (Lampre).

After even kilometres, Wilfried Cretskens (Quick.Step), Axel Merckx (Davitamon), Yannick Talabardon (Crédit Agricole), René Andrle (Liberty) and Björn Schröder (Wiesenhof) got a 20 second-advance but were soon caught by the bunch led out by Euskaltel.

Five minutes later, Christian Müller (Team CSC), Carlos Barredo (Liberty Seguros), Rory Sutherland (Rabobank) and Volodymir Gustov (Fassa Bortolo) were the ones who tried to get away...and succeeded. The peloton's reaction was close to none, so the break's lead quickly increased to a couple of minutes. But the Spaniard, who was in the breakaway yesterday already, had trouble holding on to his companions on the ascending terrain, and got dropped 45 seconds behind the leaders. Barredo nevertheless fought hard, and eventually re-joined the group on the Cat. 3 climb at km 38.8, won by Australian Rory Sutherland.

The weather meanwhile remained as bad as it possibly could: the rain and wind did not cease, and at times it was foggy. The bunch rode at the slowest average speed, and the break's maximum lead amounted to 10'50, before Italian team Liquigas got to the front of the bunch and lined up just in a team time trial to make a serious pace. The work paid off, as the gap decreased: at the sprint in Stegen (140.8 km), the break's lead was only 5'10.

On the penultimate climb to the Cat. 1 'Notschrei' (literally: emergency scream - one wonders how that name came about - ed.), Barredo couldn't hold the pace and the three others continued without him as he dropped back. Gustov climbed the best, with Sutherland only a few metres back. With 25 km to go, Cofidis' Cédric Vasseur jumped out of the Gerolsteiner-controlled peloton, which was still more than three minutes adrift from the leaders Gustov and Sutherland.

Ronny Scholz (Gerolsteiner) led the favourites' train when Wesemann countered Vasseur's move with Julich on his wheel. Barredo got caught, and also Vasseur. Next to attack was Alexandre Moos (Phonak) but Julich went after him too - and so did Alberto Contador (Liberty), who was still strong enough to get a real gap. The young Spaniard first caught Sutherland and then the suffering Gustov before the summit. But the Ukrainian struggled on and was first to cross the top of the climb with the Spaniard, who courteously let him get the points. A seven-kilometre wet and cold descent awaited the riders, who had approximately one minute lead in front of the bunch.

At the foot of the final 11-kilometre Cat. 1 climb, the Feldberg, Gustov's machine exploded and Contador started the ascent alone, looking easy. Behind, David Arroyo (Illes Balears) set out on his pursuit, with the GC contenders still together. Leipheimer's teammate Scholz was again driving hard, and Arroyo's move did not last. Contador had a minute halfway up the climb, and still looked very smooth.

Pieter Weening (Rabobank) then attacked as the main rivals focused on each other, immediately joined by Sergio Paulinho (Liberty), Bobby Julich (CSC) and Vincenzo Nibali (Fassa Bortolo). Liberty Seguros was definitely riding aggressively today. But Jeker (Saunier) finally went, and Jan Ullrich took his wheel, with all the GC contenders behind him - except Jaksche, who had a mechanical at that crucial moment. His front wheel punctured, but he finally fought his way back into the main group. Jeker attacked again, and that's when Ullrich fell back out of the group, while Leipheimer, Jaksche and Evans were hammering in front. Ullrich was joined by Julich and Totschnig. Contador was caught, but continued in the front group with two kilometres to go to the line, before the final accelerations.

Jaksche attacked 700m before the finish, but it proved to be too soon, as Evans reacted and was able to move ahead of the German in the uphill sprint. Jeker also held on and placed second, ahead of Jaksche and Leipheimer, while Ullrich struggled home in 11th place, 44 seconds behind Evans and 30 behind Leipheimer.
