Augé has an eye for the win
By Susan Westemeyer

Stephane Auge of Cofidis won the sprint in the seventh stage of the Deutschland Tour, as another escape group was successful. He beat Thierry Hupond of Skil-Shimano and Mauro da Dalto (Liquigas) as the 11-rider group came in nearly four minutes ahead of the main field. There was no change in the overall, with Columbia's Linus Gerdemann holding on to his lead.
“I am totally happy,” the 33 year-old said about his third season win. “Our team has worked hard the whole week, but never got any results. Because I can sprint well, I simply had to wait until the finale. The other attacked early and I only needed to sit on their wheels.” It is Auge's second Deutschland Tour win in his career. He won the sixth stage in 2002.
One of those in the escape group who attacked early in the finale was Jens Voigt of CSC-Saxo Bank, who opened the sprint but ended up sixth. “I wanted to show that I am not here to take consolotation prizes. But you can tell, I am only at 70 or 80 percent.”
It took a while for a group to get away today, but by km 34, a group of 11 riders finally was successful: Jens Voigt (CSC), Koos Moerenhout (Rabobank), Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Telecom), Jorge Azanza Soto (Euskaltel), Thierry Hupond (Skil-Shimano), Angel Gomez Gomez (Scott - American Beef), Christian Knees (Milram), Simon Spilak (Lampre), Johannes Fröhlinger (Gerolsteiner), Mauro Da Dalto (Liquigas) and Stéphane Augé (Cofidis).

This mixed group got a lead of up to five minutes, but Team Columbia wasn't going to be caught napping again. Hoping to give one of its sprinters a chance at the end, the team led the chase, with help from Quick Step.
It didn't work out, though. With 13 km to go, the gap was still over two minutes, and Columbia gave up the chase. It didn't have to worry about the general classification today, as it did the day before.
With 11 km to go, Voeckler attacked out of the group to try for the win. Voigt quickly gave chase. They gave it a try, but were unable to get away. Moorenhaut was the next to try his luck, with 7km to go, but he had the same lack of success. At 5km, it was Voigt and Spilak who took off. They too were caught with less than 3km to go. More attacks were attempted but they all stayed together to the end.

Voigt tried to open the sprint from the front, but Auge powered his way to the front, taking the narrow win ahead of Hupond. The field came in 3.54 minutes later, with Roberto Longo of Lampre sprinting ahead of Linus Gerdemann to win the sprint of the main field.
With about 250 metres to go, Angel Gomez hit the barrier on the left side of the road and went down. He crossed the finish line with blood running down his right leg, and was given the same time as the others in the escape.
