T-Mobile's 20 year-old Gerald Ciolek made it two in a row, out-sprinting 37 year-old Erik Zabel of Milram by two bike lengths on the wet roads of Regensburg, Germany, in the seventh stage of the Deutschland Tour. Jens Voigt sat snugly in the peloton during the mass sprint and held onto his leader's jersey.

A five-man escape group stayed away for about 160 kilometres during the stage, and the "virtual yellow jersey" sat on the shoulders of Florian Stalder of the Austrian Professional Continental Volksbank for much of the afternoon. But the sprinters' teams weren't ready to let the stage go, and pulled them back with 12 kilometres to go, setting up the mass sprint on a tricky city course.

Tomorrow's eighth stage is a 33.1-kilometre individual time trial on a mostly flat course around the city of Furth, which will establish the final winner of the Tour.

How it unfolded

170 riders took the start Thursday midday in Kufstein, Austria, Björn Leukemans of Predictor-Lotto did not start. The first attacks started as soon as the neutralized phase was over, but Cofidis kept an eye on things and held the peloton together. Magnus Backstedt (Liquigas) tried his luck and even gathered a small group, but they were not able to get more than 12 seconds ahead of the peloton, which gobbled them up a few kilometres later.

12 kilometres into the seventh stage, the Tour returned to Deutschland. Five riders took advantage of the border crossing to make their escape, and the day's successful breakaway group formed. Rene Mandri (Ag2r), Christian Leben (Wiesenhof), Raivis Belohvosciks (Saunier Duval), Erki Pütsep ( Bouygues Telecom) and Florian Stalder (Volksbank) got away before the first intermediate sprint. Mandri took that sprint, followed by Belohvosciks and Leben.

The tempo in the field was high, but the group worked well together. 50 kilometres into the stage they had built up a lead of nearly four minutes, while CSC kept things calm back in the peloton.

The quintet had built up a lead of over five minutes as it passed the day's only ranked climb, the Cat. three Wasserburg. Belohvosciks took the points ahead of Pütsep and Stalder. Shortly thereafter, Stalder took over the "virtual leader's jersey" from Jens Voigt. Going into the day's stage, the Austrian had been in 23rd place, 5'27 behind Voigt.

That seemed to wake up the peloton. Milram and T-Mobile were motivated by being on their home turf again to send their riders to the head of the group, in a an attempt to keep things under control. Other teams took up the fight, too, but the group's advantage stays pretty much the same.

The organizers placed the day's second intermediate sprint right outside a kindergarten, and all the little ones came out to cheer as Beohvosciks won it ahead of Pütsep and Stalder.

At the stage's halfway point the lead remained at 5'35. Shortly thereafter, Predictor-Lotto's Preben van Kecke took advantage of the feeding zone to drop out of the race.

With 60 kilometres to go, Stalder could say goodbye to his "virtual yellow," as the lead dropped to four minutes.

André Greipel of T-Mobile had a mechanical, but was quickly brought back into the field. Not so lucky was Thomas Rohregger (Elk Haus-Simplon), whose left pedal broke off and stayed in his shoe. It took forever for him to get together with his team car and when it finally arrived, he gave up and climbed into the car, dropping out of the race. Later Bingen Fernández of Cofidis had to have his front wheel changed.

With only 42 kilometres to go, the lead had dropped to 2'15. Milram and T-Mobile were helping to push things forward so that their sprinters could battle it out at the end.

The day saw its third rider drop out, as Liquigas' Roman Kreuziger decided to stop.

The lead at 28 kilometres had dropped to 70 seconds, as it started to sprinkle lightly. The peloton will probably let the group dangle out there alone a little while longer in its cat-and-mouse game, before pouncing and clearing the way for the sprinters.

With just a little over 12 kilometres to go, the peloton swallowed up four of the escapees. Stalder refused to accept his fate and continued on ahead in the light rain.

The magenta trikots of T-Mobile spearheaded the peloton as it passed the 10-kilometre marker. The next attacks came instantly: Marten Den Bakker of Skil-Shimano and Niki Terpstra, who wears the mountain jersey over his Milram kit. They passed Stalder who is finally absorbed back into the field. The two Dutchmen weren't able to get more than a 10 second lead, and the peloton rolled by them at five kilometres.

Caisse d'Epargne and Wiesenhof-Felt showed themselves at the head, but as expected, most of the work was done by Milram and T-Mobile, followed closely by Gerolsteiner.

The stage had a difficult finish, bringing the riders around 180 degree-corner in the last kilometre with a series of left hand turns, bad enough under normal circumstances, but potentially very dangerous on these wet roads. Fortunately, all the riders were able to stay upright.

The complicated course reduced the sprint preparations to the last 500 metres. Lampre-Fondital opened the festivities, but André Greipel did his work perfectly, allowing his young sprinter teammate Gerald Ciolek to break into the lead with 200 metres to go. Once again, the bullish young man was able to power his way to the finish line and take the win by two bike lengths, with his hands raised in the air and a huge smile on his face.

The young champion beat the old champion, as Erik Zabel took second. José Joaquín Rojas of Caisse d'Epargne finished third.
