Stage 6 - August 15: Laengenfeld - Kufstein, 175km
Ciolek finally comes through
By Bjorn Haake
|
Gerald Ciolek of T-Mobile won the stage into Kufstein in a vicious sprint that was decided by the very narrow roads leading to the finish. The young German battled it out shoulder to shoulder with Danilo Napolitano (Lampre-Fondital) and got the better of the Italian. World champion Paolo Bettini finally showed himself on the front and finished fourth.
The most interesting fight for the sprinter's jersey saw Zabel take it back during the stage by getting points at the sprints, but lost it again as Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil sprinted to third between the two Italians, while Zabel could only manage to get ninth.
Ciolek, who wasn't happy with his sprints in the earlier stages where he was either in the wind too early or stopped by coming too close to spectators, said after the stage "I didn't want to be in the wind too early again and gambled a bit. In the end it got a bit tight on the right hand side [with Napolitano] but I made myself some room."
How it unfolded
171 riders took the start three minutes later than the schedule had asked for. Niki Terpstra was inspired by the mountain jersey and attacked after only 2 kilometres, but the first 30 kilometres were downhill, with no mountain points and the peloton, with speeds up to 90 km/h, did not let anyone get away.
Once the road flattened out, Wolfgang Murer (Elk Haus-Simplon) and Paul Martens (Skil-Shimano) got away and the peloton let them get ahead and the duo quickly built a lead of over five minutes.
At the first sprint of the day in Innsbruck, after 67.5 kilometres, Murer was ahead of Martens, with Erik Zabel getting the remaining points for third place and taking back the overall lead in the sprint classification, several minutes later.
After 95 kilometres in Schwaz, it was Martens this time who got first in the sprint ahead of Murer, while Zabel was third again.
After 70 kilometres of being on the front and with 70 kilometres still to go the lead was at 6'20", but it started to melt away. At the last sprint in Kundl, with 52 kilometres still to go, the gap was less than five minutes, as Murer went over the line ahead of Martens, while Zabel managed to get third again and so had added a total of six points to his jersey ambitions.
The terrain got hillier and with all the sprints out of the way the only KOM of the day was to master, but the lead of the front runners was too big and they got across the top still a good minute clear of the rest, which was led by Jon Bru across the cat 3 climb, who netted himself a single point in the mountain's tally.
Nine kilometres from the finish the fun in the sun was over for the two in the front and after a small shake hand the two disappeared in the anonymity of the peloton.
Then the sprinter's team took over and propelling the speeds on the good, wide roads next to the Autobahn up to 65 km/h it was virtually impossible for anyone to take a flyer. The tricky part was the run-in into Kufstein. The pavement started to get bad, the roads narrower and a roundabout didn't help to make things smoother.
But all the favourites had positioned themselves perfectly at the front, and even Paolo Bettini of Italy, who spent most of the race sitting on the back so far, was very visible in the top five position with his rainbow jersey.
In the end it looked though as Napolitano had the best cards as he led the field on a road that became narrower and narrower, but he left the inside too wide open, and Ciolek bullied his way through the small gap and won with more than a bike length.
