A mountain win for sprinter Ciolek

By Susan Westemeyer

Columbia's Gerald Ciolek has always said that he is not a pure sprinter, and he proved it Wednesday, winning the Deutschland Tour's second mountain stage. He sprinted out of a favourites' group on the short but steep climb up to the finish line, finishing easily ahead of Rubens Bertogliati (Scott-American Beef) and Leonardo Bertagnolli (Liquigas) in the rain. Ciolek's team-mate Linus Gerdemann finished in the same time and retained his leader's jersey.

The previous day the German sprinter set up the sprint win for his team-mate Andre Greipel, and this time it was Ciolek's turn to take the victory. He stayed with the favourites' group all the way on a cold and wet day, and was one of four Columbia riders near the front as they approached the top of the final climb. He jumped out of the group and showed that he can climb as well as he can sprint.

"I knew that this mountain wasn't so difficult," Ciolek said of the 400 meter, 10 percent gradient climb. Ciolek thanked team-mate Tony Martin, who brought him into position. "I only had to ride the last 300 metres to the end - and I can do that in an uphill finale."

Gerdemann was glad to see the finish line. "It was very, very difficult because of the rain and cold," he said. "I was afraid that my legs would seize up. I was frozen."

Team CSC-Saxo Bank's Gustav Larsson was in the escape group of the day, and he wasn't ready to give up when it became clear that the group would be caught. He went out on his own with 40 kilometres remaining, before finally being overtaken himself 20 kilometres later.

"He had to do something because they'd been in that break for more than 150 kilometers at that point, but the peloton was relentless so it was impossible," said CSCS Directeur Sportif sports Kim Andersen. "But strong effort by Gustav and a great show of morale to fight till the bitter end."

The final mountain stage turned out to be a cool and wet one, as fall weather moved in to Germany. A number of riders either did not start or did not finish the stage in light of the constant rain and 11 degree temperatures.

How it unfolded

A six-rider strong group was able to get away about 20 kilometres into the race: Gustav Larsson (CSC), Hector Gonzales Baeza (Scott-American Beef), Mario Aerts (Silence-Lotto), Pieter Weening (Rabobank), David Lopez Garcia (Caisse d'Epargne) and Amaël Moinard (Cofidis). Behind them, the peloton splintered in the pouring rain, and the sextet was able to build up a lead of 4.35 minutes.

The first climb of the day appeared at 160 km, and on the descent Larsson picked up the speed and tore his group apart. He continued with a small lead over his former break companions, with Gonzales Baeza falling back.

The gaps kept getting smaller, and with about 23 kilometres to go, Milram's Peter Velits broke out and caught Larsson by the 20 kilometre marker. Velits went on past, but in turn was then caught by Kjell Carlstrom (Liquigas). Second-overall Thomas Lövkvist had a mechanical with 16 km to go, but team-mate Marcus Burghardt brought him safely back to the peloton.

Velits and Carlstrom maintained a slight lead. Behind them were numerous further attacks out of the favourites' group, but Columbia rode them all down.

The Finn was able to pull away from Velits with about 3.5 km to go, and he was soon absorbed by the following group. The group ground its way through the wet streets of Winterberg and caught Carlstrom with 1.3 km to go. David de le Fuente (Scott - American Beef) chose that moment to attack, managing to stay ahead until the final climb started with about 700 metres to go.

Columbia's Martin caught him, with Gerdemann right behind. Four Columbia riders led the way up the short but steep climb, and the most unexpected of them all pulled out to go for the win - sprinter Gerald Ciolek.
