Stage 6 - September 9: Szczawno Zdrój - Karpacz, 162.4 km
Schumacher sails into race lead
By Daniel Marszalek
After tough uphill finish to the Orlinek above Karpacz, German Stefan Schumacher (Gerolsteiner) has won the sixth stage of the Tour de Pologne, and in doing so, has become the new race leader. Best of the Polish riders was Marek Rutkiewicz (Intel-Action), who finished fifth, six seconds down.
On Saturday's queen stage of the race, riders had to tackle five cat. 1 mountain premiums in Karpacz Górny (at 56,4 km; 78,1 km; 99,8 km; 121,5 km; 143,7 km), before a nearly 5 km-long final ascent to Orlinek. Soon after start in Szczawno-Zdrój, the peloton also had to pass the non-classified Kowarska pass (at 36 km), and then enter five big loops around Karpacz, covering 21,7 km each time.
Just 10 km after the start, Przemyslaw Niemiec (Miche) and Italian Alessandro Vanotti (Milram) attacked. They gained a one minute advantage, but when they were joined by nine other riders, among them German Jens Voigt (Team CSC), they were soon caught by the watchful peloton.
On the Kowarska pass, other men who tried to have a go were Dutchman Joost Posthuma (Rabobank) and Frenchman Sylvain Chavanel (Cofidis), with the pair soon joined by two Italians, Giuseppe Di Grande (Miche) and Marco Pinotti (Saunier Duval). This quartet entered first of the five well-known loops around Karpacz with advantage of 1:50.
From the lead group, Posthuma attacked and gained 40 seconds at the first of the mountain sprints, but on the descent, the Rabobank rider decided to wait for the others. Meanwhile, the Liquigas-led peloton was three minutes behind.
On the second loop, mountains classification leader Aaron Olsen (Saunier Duval), together with Frenchman Frédéric Guesdon (Française Des Jeux), left the bunch; up front on the next lap, Di Grande was dropped from the lead group of four. When breaks were finally caught on a dangerous descent, a few more riders tried their luck, namely Marek Rutkiewicz (Intel), Steffen Wesemann (T-Mobile), Guesdon again and Russian Vladimir Efimkin (Caisse D'Epargne).
Going up to Orlinek for the penultimate time, Swiss Oliver Zaugg (Saunier Duval) was the next rider to attack, entering the final lap with 20 seconds advantage on a 40-man group that was without overnight leader Daniele Bennati (Lampre). On the descent to Sosnówka, he was joined by Venezuelan José Rujano (Quick Step), Efimkin, Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner) and Cristian Moreni (Cofidis), but this group was soon absorbed by the group behind them.
Then on the flat section around Milków, another group of five was formed with Rujano, Efimkin and Chavanel, another Russian Alexandr Kolobnev (Rabobank), and Swedish champion Thomas Lövkvist (Française Des Jeux). This quintet began final ascent of the day with 20 seconds advantage on the 30-strong bunch.
On the outskirts of Karpacz, Kolobnev attacked from the lead group and was soon joined by his compatriot Efimkin. They worked well together and with 3 km to go, they had seven seconds on the other three. A kilometre later, Lovkvist and Rujano, who already dropped Chavanel, were 10 seconds in arrears with the Swede doing most of the work; the peloton was some 15 seconds further down the road.
On the last and the toughest part of this ascent (with sections up to 12 percent), the bunch split to pieces under the pace set by Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner). An elite group of five riders was all that was left and in it were Wegmann, Schumacher, Rutkiewicz, Australian Cadel Evans (Davitamon) and Italian Alessandro Ballan (Lampre).
With just 250 metres remaining, they passed the lead duo and started to sprint for the stage victory. The two Gerolsteiner all-rounders were clearly too strong for the others, and Schumacher eventually won ahead of Wegmann, with Evans loosing four seconds, and Ballan and Rutkiewicz six.
Tomorrow, this quartet (without Wegmann, who lost 3'10 on the third stage) should fight for the overall win in the 63rd Tour de Pologne.
