Ciolek wraps it up as Dietziker takes stage
|
Gerald Ciolek went into the last stage of the Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt in second place overall, one second back, but by the end of the day, he took the overall victory, as well as the best sprinter's and young rider's jerseys. Andreas Dietziker of Team LPR won the stage in front of Steffen Radochla of Wiesenhof and Steven Caethoven of Chocolade Jacques.
Ciolek finished fourth on the stage, but had won the two intermediate sprints during the stage, giving him time bonuses which propelled him in front of the previous leader, Luca Celli, who had led the German by only one second.
"The team worked perfectly today. Yesterday we had a little bad luck, but today we helped ourselves with our luck," the 20-year-old Ciolek said. "We were the strongest team on paper, and in the end we could prove it."
Ciolek collected those sprint points and bonus seconds by making a breakaway with teammate Andreas Klier. The two were caught by the peloton after the second sprint. At the end, Dietziker attempted to break for the win, and was able to stay ahead long enough to take the stage win.
Celli took second overall and third place went to Johan Coenen of Chocolade Jacques.
