4th Tour of Germany - 2.2
Germany, June 3-9, 2002
Stage 1 - June 3: Wiesbaden - Tauberbischofsheim, 198.6 km
Green jersey battle continues in Germany
 |
The Erik Zabel vs. Stuart O'Grady Tour de France points jersey rematch has already begun, with the two sizing each other up in the Tours of Bavaria and Germany. O'Grady, recovering from an operation on his iliac artery in March, is now starting to hit form, placing second in today's first stage from Wiesbaden to Tauberbischofsheim. However, his main rival for the green jersey Erik Zabel is in better form, clearly winning the stage that finished in a bunch sprint.
The comparatively flat stage saw a long solo effort from Bonjour's Fabrice Salanson, who attacked after 53 km and built up a maximum lead of 7'45, taking all the day's intermediate sprints in the process. ONCE's Rafael Diaz-Justo attempted to chase on his own, but had left too big a gap and was caught by the peloton after 140 km.
The chase was driven along by the Telekom and Coast teams, and they succeeded in catching Salanson with 14 km to go. Only two riders (Karsten Kroon and Laurent Brochard) managed to get away from the field after that, but their efforts were in vain as it came together for a mass sprint.
Zabel had a mini-leadout from Alexandre Vinokourov and Danilo Hondo, as Credit Agricole tried to get in on the action. Hondo had to sprint from a long way out, but Zabel kept his cool and easily moved up to take the win and the leader's jersey.
Tomorrow's second stage of the Tour of Germany goes from Tauberbischofsheim to Pforzheim is 186 kilometres, also fairly flat but with a couple of small climbs near the finish.
