Leonardo Bertagnolli of Liquigas attacked out of the lead group in the last 13 km and was able to eke out a win in the third stage of the Deutschland Tour. The chasing group came in with the same time, with Rigoberto Uran of Caisse d'Epargne second and Columbia's Thomas Lövkvist third. Overall leader Linus Gerdemann also finished in the same time to hold on to his leader's jersey. Bertagnolli's escape companion, Daniel Navarro of Astana, was overtaken only shortly before the finish line and came in sixth.

Navarro told Cyclingnews, "What a pity, we tried it really, and we were strong enough to resist the peloton, but in the end I lacked power. I am not in my best form, but I will try to better my performance. I will now look for the overall classification."

"We are doing our best. For me it's the last race, I will change the team [to Astana] and I would like to finish with a good performance to give my career at Euskaltel Euskadi a good end," said his future team-mate, Haimar Zubeldia (Euskaltel Euskadi). "A victory would be nice - I have possibilities. I am also not too bad in the overall classification, and I am already thinking of the last time trial."

Milram's captain Christian Knees must have wanted to make up for his disappointing performance of the last two days, as he took off at kilometre 10 and quickly built up a lead of over a minute. He was eventually joined by Gerolsteiner's Johannes Fröhlinger and the two took off together. Interestingly enough, Team Milram announced during the stage not only that Knees' contract had been extended through 2010, but also that Fröhlinger had signed with the team for the coming year.

The duo built up a lead of 7.40 minutes, with Knees taking over the "virtual" leader's jersey. That was enough for the Team Columbia-led peloton, which picked up the pace to reel the two in.

About two-thirds of the way, the heavens opened, and the riders then went through a series of heavy showers and dry spells, and had to deal with at times very wet roads.

The second and last climb of the day was the Königstuhl, about 25 km from the end. On the way up, Fröhlinger tried to get away from Knees, but wasn't successful. The category two climb was enough to break up the peloton, with the non-climbers dropping off on the way up.

A greatly reduced field caught the two before the top of the climb, Columbia's leading duo of Gerdemann and Lövkivst were in the leading group, and were part of an eight-rider strong group that went on in the lead and slowly pulled away from the followers on the wet ascent and descent. Markus Fothen was trying desperately to catch the lead group when he slid out on a curve and went down. The Gerolsteiner rider got back going again, having suffered only scrapes in his dramatic fall.

On the ascent, Daniel Navarro of Astana attacked, splitting the group. Leonardo Bertagnolli of Liquigas and Jussi Veikkanen of Française des Jeux went with him.

With about nine kilometres to go, a group of about 12 riders caught the Gerdemann group. At the same time, Veikkanen had a manically which dropped him out of the lead group, which only had about 20 seconds on the chasers. There were numerous attacks out of the chase group,

They took a lead of less than 10 seconds in to the final kilometre and Bertagnolli was able to sprint out and hang on to the lead, finishing just ahead of the on-rushing group.
