Zabel wins again

Erik Zabel did it again, winning the third stage of the Bayern Rundfahrt Friday, with team-mates Sebastian Siedler finishing third and Marcel Sieberg sixth. Javier Benitez Pomares of Benfica finished second on the day. Zabel also defended his leader's jersey, with Siedler moving up into third and CSC's Stuart O'Grady staying in second.

"Athletic successes or losses have lost their meaning over the last days and years, and even more so because of the events of the last week," Zabel said. "It is easier when I'm on the bike, but even then I can't forget everything that has happened. On the bike my head is free. And the win certainly means a lot to me."

53 kilometres into the stage, Christoph von Kleinsorgen (Heinz von Heiden Focus) made a solo escape which the peloton allowed to stay clear for over 100 km. The German built up a maximum lead of over nine minutes before the peloton got to work, and he was finally swallowed up on the first of two final closing laps.

Zabel leader's jersey came under threat midway through the stage, as O'Grady picked up bonus seconds in intermediate sprints to take over the virtual lead, something that Zabel wasn't too concerned about. "Actually we had already accepted that O'Grady would take over the jersey today," Zabel said.

However, O'Grady lost his chance at the jersey when he was involved in a crash shortly before the finish line, in which he was not injured. "I heard the crash," Zabel said. "It sounded bad." The worst off in the crash was Alberto Loddo of Selle Italia, who was taken to the hospital with a broken collarbone.

Saturday's stage is a 24 km time trial in which Zabel fully expects to lose his leader's jersey. "To be perfectly honest, of course I know my possibilities," the sprinter said. "It wouldn't be realistic if I tried to ride for the podium tomorrow. I figure more with two to three minutes loss." Favorites to win the stage and take over the lead are Andreas Klöden of Astana, Stefan Schumacher of Gerolsteiner, and CSC's Jens Voigt.
