Baumann wins after escapee Knaven crashes

Erik Baumann of the appropriately named Team Sparkasse has won the Sparkassen Giro in Bochum, Germany, ahead of Christian Knees (Milram) and Marcel Sieberg (Team Columbia). Baumann won the sprint after the peloton went 12 times around a 15-kilometre city course.

Just when it looked like Columbia's Servais Knaven was heading for a solo victory, the Dutchman slid and crashed on the rain-soaked street inside the final kilometre. He got up and kept going after being passed by the peloton, but crashed again at the finish line, sliding over without his bike.

An eight rider strong group dominated much of the race, getting away oin the first lap. The group comprised Richard Faltus (Team Sparkasse), Frantisek Kloucek (PSK Whirlpool), Linus Gerdemann (Team Columbia), Tony Martin, (Team Columbia), Daniel Braunstein (Drapac Porsche), Sebastian Hans (Team Mapei), Matthias Friedemann (Team 3C Gruppe), and Christian Kux (Team Milram).

It built up a lead of nearly six minutes, until on the 13th lap, Martin attacked, followed only by Gerdemann and Kux. The three were finally caught on the last lap, setting up the sprint.
