Today's flat sprinter's stage of the Deutschland Tour from Bodenmais to Kufstein was won by Italian Daniele Bennati (Lampre-Caffita), who got his front wheel just ahead of his compatriot Filippo Pozzato's, who already scored a stage win yesterday. German Sebastian Siedler (Wiesenhof) came in third under finally sunny skies in Austria.

"I dedicate this win to my wife, Chiara, who is always with me, also in the bad moments, and to my teammates who did a wonderful job today: they all worked at 100 percent for me and I really want to thank them," said Bennati after the finish.

This is Bennati's second win of the year (as well as the Giro di Toscana) his next goal is to ride for the Italian national team in Madrid. "My dream is to participate in the next World Championships so I want to do well at the next races. You can be sure you will see me again in the next days." But not tomorrow, he admitted, as the stage between Kufstein and Sölden will be too tough for him. "Gruppetto," was his final comment.

No big changes occurred at the top of the general classification, and Bram Tankink will wear the leader's jersey again tomorrow in the Queen's stage of this year's Deutschland Tour, now leading by 17 seconds over Pozzato. Meanwhile, Gerolsteiner's Fabian Wegmann added one more mountain point to his score and slipped into the mountains jersey.

With one non-starter, Discovery's Antonio Cruz, 159 riders had gathered in Kufstein for the third day of wettish weather conditions, and at 11.10, the official start was given. The first 50 kilometres of the mostly flat, 227 km-long parcours to Austria saw lots of attacks and an equally high tempo. Finally, after one hour of hammering, Unai Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi) broke away from the bunch, and the peloton let him go. A fine move by Etxebarria, but certainly a hard one as nobody went up to join him in his quest - so the Venezuelan went on solo and quickly gained time on the exhausted peloton behind.

Etxebarria's lead grew steadily, and his maximum advantage was 15'40 minutes at around kilometre 95. From then on, the Quick.Step controlled peloton moved up on him again. Intermittent rain showers made the work quite miserable. At the second feed zone of the day at kilometre 158, Stuart O'Grady (Cofidis), Sandy Casar (Francaise des Jeux) and Enrico Franzoi (Lampre) abandoned the race. Etxebarria still had 8 minutes lead, which was continuously decreasing, and also looked like he didn't have much energy left - understandably.

With 50 kilometres to go, Cofidis suffered the second loss today as Janek Tombak also quit the race. But as the bunch neared Austria, the sun finally came out, which must have been a great relief after three days of nasty weather conditions.

Gerolsteiner's Fabian Wegmann scored one more precious point at the Cat. 3 climb with 35 kilometres to go, where Alexandre Moos (Phonak) also sprinted to get two points. Moos then got a small gap and continued, with Etxebarria only two more minutes away. Inevitably, the race was open for the finale.

Belgian Nico Mattan (Lotto-Davitamon) counter-attacked as Moos was caught, which set off a series of further attacks around 30 km to go: Jens Voigt (CSC) and Vincenzo Nibali (Fassa Bortolo) first got away to join Mattan, and then Cédric Vasseur (Cofidis) set out, and passed the exhausted Etxebarria quickly at 28 kilometres before the stage finish.

The bunch also flew at this point, Lampre leading with Liberty and T-Mobile also doing some work. Marco Milesi (Liquigas-Bianchi), Rory Sutherland (Rabobank), Davide Bramati (Quick.Step) were also in the lead for a little while, but with 21 kilometres to go, it was peloton groupé again. The attacks nevertheless continued, but nobody was able to get away, the race moving quickly at approximately 50 km/h on hilly terrain. Even Davide Rebellin tried, and yellow jersey wearer Tankink himself chased him down.

Kazakhstan champion Alexandre Vinokourov (T-Mobile) was next to shake up the bunch as the race crossed the border to Austria with 16 kilometres to go. On a long descent, two riders finally managed to get a dangerous gap: Fabian Wegmann and Swiss Fabian Cancellara (Fassa Bortolo). The two of them were giving it all and managed a lead of 25 seconds as they passed the 10 kilometre mark. Bram Tankink was chasing again - this time with his teammates and some Liquigas riders. With 5 clicks to go, Wegmann was cooked and could work no more, barely holding on to Spartacus' wheel. The two were caught with 2.5 km to go, and the bunch sprint was definitely on by then.

Under the red flag indicating the last kilometre, UCI ProTour jersey wearer Danilo Di Luca was working for his Liquigas teammate Luciano Pagliarini, then Lampre took over, with the main sprinters all in front of the race. Finally, Bennati came out from Pozzato's wheel as Pozzato tried to surprise by going on the inside of the last curve, and the 24 year-old Lampre rider was able to outsprint his compatriot.
