Stage 9 - August 18: Einbeck - Hannover, 143.1km
Ciolek and Voigt do it again
By Susan Westemeyer

Gerald Ciolek of T-Mobile won his third sprint finish in a row, and Jens Voigt took his second Deutschland Tour in a row, in Saturday's finale. Ciolek outsprinted Erik Zabel, of Team Milram, and Mark Renshaw of Crédit Agricole.
There were no changes in the overall classification. Voigt won at 1'57" ahead of Discovery Channel's Levi Leipheimer, with David Lopez of Caisse d'Epargne 2'10" back in third. Voigt called the victory harder than last year, as it was unplanned in 2006. "This year, I had said beforehand I wanted to contest the general classification."
Zabel won the sprinter's jersey without much of a contest, as his biggest rival, Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil of Caisse d'Epargne, who was equal on points with Zabel, decided to not start the stage and save his legs for tomorrow's Cyclassics in Hamburg. Zabel's team-mate Niki Terpstra took the mountains classification jersey, also without contest as the flat roads around Hannover offered only one category three climb. The team ranking went to CSC and Rabobank's Robert Gesink was the best young rider.
How it unfolded
The riders had to travel nearly 380 km to today's start. It is a short stage, only 143.1 km. That's because a lot of the riders will be traveling even further north this evening, to the Vattenfall Cyclassics in Hamburg, which is being run on Sunday. The weather god was smiling on the race today, promising temperatures around 20° (Celsius) and sunshine.
Seven riders decided not to take on this final stage, including Damiano Cunego (Lampre) and Jose Rojas Gil of Caisse d'Epargne.

The race got underway one minute late at 12:46, and the flying start was even more delayed, three whole minutes. The delay was due to a riders' protest against the long transfer.
Within minutes a trio escaped: Grischa Niermann (Rabobank), Harald Totschnig (Elk Haus) and Matthew Lloyd (Predictor-Lotto). They were soon joined by Pierre Drancourt (Bouygues Telecom).
The quartet took a two-minute lead into the only climb of the day, the Rote Fuchs ("Red Fox"). The points went to Niermann, Totschnig and Drancourt, in that order. None of them was a threat to Niki Terpstra, the young Dutch Milram rider who was wearing the mountains jersey. Nor were they threats to the yellow jersey. Drancourt was the highest ranked, and he was over ten minutes behind leader Jens Voigt.
The day's first intermediate sprint went to Totschnig ahead of Drancourt and Niermann, and they were about two and a half minutes in front of the peloton. They were also not a threat to Erik Zabel's point trikot. With Rojas is out of the race, the only threat he faced was from landsman and double stage winner Gerald Ciolek of T-Mobile, who sat15 points behind him.
The group's lead stayed steady around two and a half minutes. CSC and T-Mobile were at the front of the peloton and keeping an eye on the escapees.

At 51 km to go, the breakaway group had a lead of 2'45" as it passed through the second intermediate sprint, with Lloyd winning in front of Totschnig and Drancourt.
With only six more kilometres to the round in Hannover, the field decided to pick up the pace and closed the gap to 1'25".
The group let Niermann cross the finish line to start on the first of four laps of the city first, as Hannover is his hometown. The peloton followed about 1'35" later. Francesco Failli of Liquigas took advantage of this opportunity to drop out of the race.
The lead started sinking, down to 50 seconds with 22 km to go. The peloton chipped away at that lead, but the four stayed away through the next crossing of the finish line, which is also the start of the last lap. Niermann took the last intermediate sprint, before Totschnig and Lloyd.
The peloton followed them 30 seconds later and finally gobbled them up. Niermann tried to postpone his destiny and stay away, but was quickly absorbed into the peloton as well.

T-Mobile had four riders leading the charge at the three kilometre mark, with Milram and Gerolsteiner lurking not far behind them. The peloton presented a similar picture at the one kilometre mark.
As it came down to business, the sprinters were spread across the broad street. Gerald Ciolek of T-Mobile came from behind, up the righthand side, and powered his way through. He shot ahead of Erik Zabel at the last minute to take his third win a row.
