Bennati takes second stage win in Germany
By Hedwig Kröner
|
In an exciting finale involving an early six-man breakaway getting caught under the one kilometre to go banner, Italian Lampre-Caffita rider Daniele Bennati was the first to cross the line in front of Briton Roger Hammond (Discovery Channel) and Australian Baden Cooke (Française des Jeux).
Bennati thereby also took the red points jersey from Filippo Pozzato (Quick.Step). "I'm 'felicissimo' with this second stage victory," the 24 year-old said. "But I really have to thank my teammates who did a wonderful job for me today - I only finished off their work."
No changes on GC: Levi Leipheimer still leads by 18 seconds ahead of teammate Georg Totschnig, with Jan Ullrich 56 seconds back in third place. Tomorrow's stage six will take place on 171.3 rather flat kilometres from Friedrichshafen to Singen, where another bunch sprint finish is expected before the overall leaders battle it out again on Sunday.
How it unfolded
|
Four riders did not start this morning in Sölden, Austria: Bram Tankink (Quick.Step), who wore the yellow jersey until yesterday, Christophe Kern (Bouygues), Rafael Casero and Marco Pinotti (both Saunier Duval). The weather was fine at the start of the 219.2 km-long stage, and would stay that way. After the obligatory sprint tempo in the first kilometres of the race, a breakaway of six riders finally emerged: Cristian Moreni (Quick.Step), Alessandro Bertolini (Domina Vacanze), Carlos Barredo (Liberty), Dario Cioni (Liquigas), Johann Tschopp (Phonak) and - surprise, surprise - Jens Voigt (CSC) who always likes a little headwind. Grischa Niermann (Rabobank) missed the decisive moment and tried to join them soon afterwards, but had to sit up after a while.
The six-man group rode off after 32 kilometres toward the Cat. 1 climb 'Arlbergpass' located at km 97.9 of today's parcours, at 1793 metres above sea level. Their lead amounted to 5'10 as they hit the foot of the climb, with Gerolsteiner controlling the field behind them.
Dario Cioni took the mountains points at the top, and with an advantage of still 4'35, the break descended the mountain, the bunch still not significantly interested in a chase.
|
With about 60 kilometres to go, the peloton finally started to move more quickly. Under the work of the sprinters' teams Lampre, Wiesenhof and Francaise des Jeux, the bunch was stretched out and flew toward the finish on straight roads, riding constantly at around 50 km/h.
With 45 km to go, the gap was still three minutes, but the countdown was on: the break's lead decreased as the clock ticked, and was cut to two minutes with 23 kilometres to go. The front riders did everything in their power to make it work for them, rolling through bravely, but it was no use: on this flat terrain around Lake Constance, the powerful work by Wiesenhof paid off.
Cristian Moreni attacked despite the high tempo as the break passed the 15-kilometre mark, and got about 100 metres, while the bunch chased 1'20 behind. But the five chasers caught up with him with 9 kilometres before the finish line, as the swarming bunch behind them absorbed the many roundabouts before the city outskirts. The gap: 50 seconds.
|
There was a moment of stabilisation as the gap remained around 35 seconds with six kilometres to the line, but as more teams (Discovery Channel, Crédit Agricole) joined the chase, there was only 23 seconds left at 3 km to go - a tight finish! Jens Voigt yelled at everyone who stayed behind for too long in the break, and the front guys really gave it all, sensing their chance.
But the inevitable happened as the peloton was within sight. The sprint began, and although Barredo attacked with 1200 m to go, the sprinters hit the final kilometre in front. Liquigas' Pagliarini got squeezed in, and Bennati came off Siedler's wheel, who was the first to start the sprint. Maybe just 20 metres too early.
