Spaniard Aitor Garmendia (Team Coast) has won the third stage of the Tour of Germany, raced over 192.5 hilly kilometres from Bühlertal to Schonach, finishing on a 4 km climb. Garmendia was the only survivor of a four man break that escaped with 30 km to go, but disintegrated on the final run up to Schonach. In second place and a real chance to take the leader's jersey in tomorrow's time trial, was ONCE's Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano, who finished 22 seconds behind Garmendia. Laurent Brochard (Jean Delatour) led the bunch home for third place at 42 seconds.
There was no doubt that Erik Zabel would most likely lose his white leader's jersey today, with four categorised climbs including the cat. 1 climb of Kandel (1240m) which came at 75 km to go. The start was quite aggressive, with a number of attacks happening before Joerg Ludewig (Saeco) and Pierrick Fedrigo (Credit Agricole) got clear.
Ludewig didn't last long on the first climb, leaving Fedrigo in the lead by himself with Ludewig eventually returning to the peloton at km 48. Fedrigo built up a lead of nearly 3 minutes as the group behind him began to shed riders on the climbs, and he was eventually caught just before the 100 km mark.
The race leader Erik Zabel was still in the peloton at this stage, but he did not make it over the 12 km long climb of the Kandel, rising some 1000 metres. By the top of the climb, only 24 riders were left in the lead group, with nearly all the favourites present. After that, the attacks continued in the front group, although no-one could get away for long until Aitor Garmendia (Team Coast), Isidro Nozal (ONCE), and Dave Bruylandts (Domo) escaped with 31 km to go.
These three riders built up a modest lead of 40 seconds, as the peloton behind them couldn't make up its mind whether to chase or not. There were not enough Telekom riders left to organise something, and the Nürnberger and Gerolsteiner teams didn't seem too committed. Uwe Peschel (Gerolsteiner) decided to try and bridge the gap by himself, which he succeeded in doing with 13 km to go, and the quartet got up to 1'05 in front of the bunch.
On the final climb, Tour of Germany defending champion Alexandre Vinokourov made a bold attempt to close to the leaders, but he was chased down by Zülle and Eddy Ratti, with the peloton following shortly afterwards. By this stage, Garmendia had attacked the break and was on his way to a solo win, while the remaining three riders fell back to the peloton.
Finally Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano managed to get clear and up 20 seconds into the bunch, but he had to settle for second behind a very strong Garmendia.
Tomorrow's stage will suit Gonzalez, being a 37.6 km time trial from Villingen-Schwenningen to Bad Dürrheim.
