Ullrich scores stage as Leipheimer holds strong
By Hedwig Kröner
|
It was 'Kaiser' time again in Germany today: with a little warmer temperatures this afternoon in Ludwigshafen, Jan Ullrich finally scored his first victory in the Deutschland Tour by winning the 31.1 km-long time trial to Weinheim. Bobby Julich (Team CSC) finished second, 11 seconds behind the winner, whereas overall leader Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner) placed third, 54 seconds back. The American's time trial skills proved to more than enough to secure his overall lead over Ullrich, who now sits in second position on GC, with Gerolsteiner's Georg Totschnig third.
"It's a very important victory for me and our team," said Ullrich in the finish. "It's a great success. I felt ill the whole week, and today we finally had a little luck with the weather! I wasn't able to get Leipheimer in the end, but I'm still very happy.
|
"I'm not the sprinter who can get all the intermediate time bonuses, so... Tomorrow, Gerolsteiner will control the race - they're very strong so today was my last chance," he added when asked whether he thought he could still take the jersey. "I used it to win but unfortunately it wasn't enough for the overall victory. I'm still satisfied. I couldn't train before the race and had been ill with a cold in the last few days, as the weather was so bad all the time. And now, I win this time trial and rank second on GC... We were a little unlucky with Vinokourov and Schreck having to drop out of the race, and Gerolsteiner has a great roster here," he added.
How it unfolded
|
The parcours was very flat, with the biggest difficulty being the wind on the mostly open roads. Especially during the second half of the course, a strong headwind blew which didn't make it any easier. At least, the riders were spared yesterday's cold rain - it was a mild 22° Celsius at the start in Ludwigshafen.
Swiss time trial champion Fabian Cancellara was the first to set a very good mark with 38'19 over 31.1 kilometres. CSC's Jens Voigt also impressed, passing three riders who had started before him and finishing 14 seconds down for a provisional second. But his teammate, Bobby Julich, also showed that his form was back after the terrible Rettenbachferner mountain finish on stage four and led the race with a very remarkable 37'08, as the overall contenders took on the course.
|
When Jan Ullrich pushed down the start ramp, one could sense that things were still about to change: At the first intermediate time check at km 10, Ullrich clocked 10'28 to Julich's 10'35. As Jaksche and Evans passed that first mark, it was clear that Der Kaiser was on a very good day, to say the least. Totschnig also lost 31 seconds to the powering Ullrich on the very first ten kilometres - the German's performance was impressive!
Yellow jersey Levi Leipheimer rode the first 10 kilometres 13 seconds slower than the 31 year-old - that was 13 of 86 seconds which he had at his disposal to hold on to his jersey.
At the second intermediate time check at km 18.8, Ullrich's time was 21.48 minutes, two seconds faster than Julich. And although Leipheimer lost more time (he arrived in 22'14 at that point, 26 seconds slower than Ullrich), it became clear that the American was up to the challenge.
|
At the third time check after 25.5 kilometres, Ullrich's mark was 30'42. Soon after, he passed Tadej Valjavec (Phonak) - just before going on the last 1000 metres. Finally, he crossed the line flat out after 36'56, 11 seconds faster than Julich! As Leipheimer passed the last intermediate time check, he was 45 seconds slower than Ullrich. He'd definitely make it.
His Gerolsteiner teammate Georg Totschnig was also struggling for his podium placing, giving it all. And he managed to rescue six seconds to Jörg Jaksche on GC, who was a little disappointed as he had hoped for a podium placing on home turf in Bonn.
