Erik Zabel has broken a semi-drought of victories this year by winning the 89th edition of the German classic Rund um Köln. The T-Mobile rider won a 19 man bunch sprint, beating former teammate Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner) and American Kirk O'Bee (Navigators). It was Zabel's second win this season, after several near misses. "Today helped me forget the result of San Remo a little bit," said Zabel.

Organisers estimated that several hundred thousand spectators lined the road on Easter Monday to watch the race, with Jan Ullrich (back in T-Mobile colours) the star attraction again. Ullrich won this race last year in fine style, but he missed the break this year and ended up in 64th place at 5'41. "In 2003 I was an outsider and I was only able to win because the others didn't recognise me in my Coast jersey," joked Ullrich.

The race saw an eight man group attack on lap 1, containing Jens Heppner (Wiesenhof) and Marcus Fothen (Gerolsteiner) among others. Zabel bridged up with 11 others at the end of the lap and that was the race. Zabel was able to account for Hondo and O'Bee in the sprint, this time not saluting until after he had crossed the line. The main peloton finished over five minutes behind the leaders.

T-Mobile had Mario Aerts and Christian Werner in the front group, but things didn't go all their way when Paolo Savoldelli crashed with three other riders into a traffic island after approximately 30 km and was forced out of the race. He was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with heavy facial wounds and a broken left forearm, according to his T-Mobile team. There is also suspicion of a broken elbow.
