A 135 km attack by Leon Van Bon (Lotto-Domo), Christophe Agnolutto (Ag2r) and Remco Van Der Ven (BankGiroLoterij) resulted in them taking the first three placings in the third stage of the Tour of Germany, holding off the peloton by a just few metres at the finish. The three had reached a lead of 7'05 before the chase began, but the peloton mistimed it marginally and they were able to stay away. The race lead stayed with Grégory Rast (Phonak), who lost 13 seconds to second placed Gerben Löwik today after finishing well down in the bunch.

The 188 km stage from Coburg to Ansbach was not one of the more difficult stages in this tour, containing just two Cat. 3 climbs (km 27 and km 87) and two sprints (km 54 and km 151). The start was marked by a number of attacks, with BankGiroLoterij being particularly aggressive, but no-one was able to get clear for long.

Finally three riders were able to get clear, just before the first sprint at km 54. They were Leon Van Bon (Lotto-Domo), Christophe Agnolutto (Ag2r) and Remco Van Der Ven (BankGiroLoterij), with Van der Ven taking the sprint points at Zeil in front of Agnolutto and Van Bon. Once they passed this, the trio put their heads down and kept riding, while the peloton took a break and allowed the gap to increase from 25" to 7'05 by kilometre 121.

The Phonak team was setting the tempo on the front, and started to eat into the gap as rain began to fall quite heavily. Phonak received assistance from Saeco and Credit Agricole, and the leaders were 4'50 in front with 40 km to go. With 30 km to go, Telekom and Gerolsteiner sent a few riders to the front, and the gap to the leaders continued to fall gradually as they approached Ansbach.

By the time they reached the finish line for the first time with 14 km to go, Van Bon, Agnolutto and Van der Van still had 1'43, and it was going to be touch and go as to whether they were caught. The speed began to increase in the bunch, causing several splits at the finish, but it was not quite enough to catch the leaders. Van Bon had the strongest sprint, and easily beat Agnolutto and Van der Ven to the finish, with Erik Zabel having to content himself with 4th place at the head of the bunch.

Tomorrow's fourth stage from Ansbach to Bad Wurzach is another chance for the sprinters, containing no climbs but a gradual uphill run to Bad Wurzach. The major difficulty is the length of the stage, which at 222 kilometres is the longest of the Tour of Germany.
