Petacchi back to winning ways
Things were back to normal in the Niedersachsen Rundfahrt Saturday, as Alessandro Petacchi won the stage again, a good ten meters in front of Graeme Brown (Rabobank) and Heinrich Haussler (Gerolsteiner).
"I want to thank my team again, because today it wasn't easy at all to control the race in the finale," Petacchi said. "Grabsch, Poitschke and Sabatini worked a lot in order to allow Sieberg, Knees, Ongarato and Zabel to prepare the sprint without having spent a lot of energy beforehand. Tomorrow's last stage will be even harder, but after the first climb there will be time to recuperate - and with a team like this one, we can win again!"
Saturday's stage was the race's longest, at 199.7 km. After 54 kilometrs, a five-man strong group got away, with Evgeni Sladokov (Astana), Clement Lhotellerie (Skil Shimano), Daren Hill (Navigators) and Richard Faltus and Lars Wackernagel of Team Sparkasse. They gained a lead of over six minutes before the sprinter's teams started working to pull them back. Just before the start of the 13 km-long final circuit, Hill and Lhotellerie jumped away again, but eventually the whole group was relled in. In the last round, many attacks were attempted, but Milram, T-Moble and Panaria all worked to keep the field together.
