Stage 6 - August 20: Friedrichshafen – Singen (Hohentwiel), 175 km
Iglinskiy tricks the sprint favourites
By Hedwig Kröner

Young Maxim Iglinskiy (Domina Vacanze) jumped off the right wheels in today's breakaway sprint finish of the Deutschland Tour's sixth stage from Friedrichshafen to Singen. The 24 year-old Kazakh beat Belgian Jurgen Van Den Broeck (Discovery Channel) and Italian Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Caffita) on the line.
"I thought that I started my sprint at the ideal moment," said a disappointed Van Den Broeck to Belgian television afterwards. "A pity that Iglinskiy came past me from behind. When I saw that Moreni was driven towards the barriers with Ballan, the fastest man in the group, I saw my chance to go. Apparently a little too soon, although I did feel really strong."
A breakaway of nine riders got into the finish together: Cristian Moreni (Quick.Step), David Etxebarria (Liberty), Alessandro Ballan (Lampre), Chris Horner (Saunier), Guido Trentin (Cofidis), Jurgen Van Den Broeck (Discovery), Iker Camano (Euskaltel), Maxim Iglinskiy (Domina) and Bobby Julich (CSC). With such a well-balanced group, the Gerolsteiner-controlled bunch wasn't interested in chasing them down and arrived 2'10 later.

The overall classification is unchanged: Gerolsteiner's Levi Leipheimer still leads, with teammate Georg Totschnig in second and Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) in third position. Tomorrow's stage to the Feldberg mountain will see the second summit finish in the Deutschland Tour on the Cat. 1 climb, where the yellow jersey will surely be attacked.
How it unfolded
The start in Friedrichshafen was given at 12:40 under a grey sky and in - again - cooler temperatures, with a high risk of rain showers. And today, unlike the previous stages, it took a while until a breakaway managed to get a significant lead as the race tempo was very high. Team Gerolsteiner controlled the bunch, and whilst there were many attempts - Wilfried Cretskens (Quick.Step), Jens Voigt (CSC), Bert Grabsch (Phonak), Rory Sutherland (Rabobank) and Vladimir Miholjevic (Liquigas), to name but a few - the peloton arrived at the first climb at km 29.8 groupé.
During the ascent of the Cat. 2 Heiligenberg, Liberty Seguros made the pace, but a few riders including Crédit Agricole's Bradley Wiggins got a few metres off the front and scored the points at the top. Then, the rain set in and the peloton caught all subsequent break attempts on the descent.

Julich tried his luck again soon after, and got a gap with Sutherland, Iker Camano and the later winner Iglinskiy. But when Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas) joined them, their hopes of succeeding were over.
After 65 kilometres, another group of 11 emerged: Mattan (Davitamon), Den Bakker (Rabobank), Knees, Schröder (both Wiesenhof), Zubeldia (Euskaltel), Luttenberger (CSC), Bortolami (Lampre), Grabsch (Phonak), Miorin (Liquigas), Brochard (Bouygues) and Etxebarria (Liberty), who had soon 25 seconds advantage over the bunch. But the tempo being so high, they couldn't really ride away - and as they reached the circuit route around Singen, there were six riders left in front: Mattan, Schröder, Bortolami, Den Bakker, Zubeldia and Etxebarria, who had but a few seconds on the bunch.
The ascent of the Cat. 3 Hohentwiel was next on the schedule. The short but steep climb (steepest parts averaging 18 percent gradient) saw Etxebarria attack and cross the summit first, and on the next hills, more and more riders from the peloton managed to bridge the gap to the leaders. Finally, a group of 12 stayed clear: Cristian Moreni (Quick.Step), Björn Schröder (Wiesenhof), David Etxebarria (Liberty), Alessandro Ballan (Lampre), Chris Horner (Saunier), Guido Trentin (Cofidis), Jurgen Van Den Broeck (Discovery), Maarten Den Bakker (Rabobank), Iker Camano (Euskaltel), Maxim Iglinskiy (Domina), Bobby Julich (CSC) and Nico Mattan (Davitamon).

At kilometre 105, the break's lead was 1'20 - the greatest gap that a breakaway was given in the race until that moment! That's where the race started to stabilize. Gerolsteiner decided to let them go a bit, but not too much: with 50 kilometres to go, the break's lead amounted to 2'30.
In the second ascent of the Hohentwiel, the rain had stopped and Horner attacked, but Etxebarria countered, pulling up Van Den Broeck on his wheel, who finally won the points at the summit. Just after the top, Camano crashed into a grass ditch out of a right hand curve, but got up again on his bike and continued.
The group was then reduced to nine, as Schröder, Den Bakker and Mattan had lost contact on the climb. Horner and Van Den Broeck tested their breakaway mates a little before working again. Their lead now amounted to 3'12 with 25 kilometres to go and they weren't likely to be caught. Back in the bunch, Phonak also engaged in the chase, helping out Gerolsteiner a little, with T-Mobile on their wheels. Double stage winner Bennati's Lampre team was of course not chasing, as they had Ballan in the front group.
So the bunch's interest in catching the group was minor: with 20 km to go, the gap was still over three minutes, and it became clear that the future stage winner would be one of these nine in front: Trentin, Van Den Broeck, Etxebarria, Moreni, Iglinskiy, Ballan, Camano, Julich or Horner. The three chasers were caught in between the front and the peloton at 1'10.

The leaders rotated pulls, motoring along at about 55 km/h on the flat. As they passed the 10 km mark, the gap was still 2'10 minutes, and the race finish tactics began with 2.5 km to go to the line. Bobby Julich attacked strongly and got a good gap, but Ballan led the chase, and it was all back together at 900 m to go. Horner was in last position, Trentin in first as the sprint started. But Ballan boxed himself in as Van Den Broeck led out, and the young Kazakh Iglinskiy came off Van Den Broeck's wheel to nip him just before the line. An excellent win for the young Domina rider.
