Ciolek cements lead with second stage win
By Susan Westemeyer

Team High Road sprinter Gerald Ciolek won the mass sprint in the third stage of the Bayern Rundfahrt, for his second stage win of the race. He also built up his lead in the overall classification thanks to the bonus seconds on the line. Second and third places on the day went to Paul Voss (3C Gruppe) and Luca Paolini (Acqua & Sapone). In addition to the leader's jersey, Ciolek has also earned the jerseys for sprinters and for best young rider.
"There was a two-lap circuit at the end and that shredded the group to around 40 riders, which was a help," the 21 year-old said. "Winning is always difficult, but with a smaller group I could position myself better for the final sprint and it wasn't so complicated as when I won two days ago."
He mused on how his season had gone so far. "It's funny that I should get two wins in three days after winning nothing all season beforehand, but that often happens. Once you get a certain degree of confidence, particularly if you're a sprinter, then the wins suddenly start arriving. You feel freer once you've got your first victory of the season, so you race better."
High Road did its best to hold the peloton together early in the stage, hunting down every possible break, and kept the speed up, with the first hour going at a rate of 44.3 km/h. A duo finally got away at km 65. Daniel Becke (Thüringer Energie Team) and Kim Lachmann (Mapei Heizomat) were not able to build up more than a three minute lead, but stayed away nearly 100 kilometers. The peloton overtook them just before the first of two final laps of a round course.

High Road, Gerolsteiner and Ceramica Flaminia kept the pace up so high on the two laps of seven kilometres each that the peloton fell apart. In the end, Kim Kirchen led out the sprint for his young team-mate, who flew by his rivals to cross the finish line first.
The fourth stage is a 25.9 km lightly rolling individual time trial, which traditionally decides the winner of the race. Ciolek said that he did not expect to be that winner, calling it "too long for me to have much chance, although obviously I will fight to stay in the lead as hard as I can. I will check out the time trial course before actually racing it. But that's partly because I want to avoid training on the rollers as a warm-up - I find that really boring!"
