A dozen for Greipel

By Susan Westemeyer, with additional reporting by Monika Prell in Mainz

André Greipel of Team Columbia made it a full dozen on the season as he captured the fourth stage of the Deutschland Tour for his 12th win. He came across the finish line a half a wheel ahead of Robbie McEwen (Silence-Lotto), with Gerolsteiner's Robert Förster third in the bunch sprint. Greipel's team-mate Linus Gerdemann stayed in the leader's jersey.

The finishing margin was close, but "I did not doubt my victory," Greipel said. "I want to thank my team-mates for their great work. Yesterday we worked a lot. Today was a bit easier for us. Tomorrow I won't be able to win, so it will be a quiet stage for me."

The sprint was set up for him by team-mate and fellow sprinter Gerald Ciolek. Although there had been public speculation as to which sprinter the team would ride for, there was no question within the team. "We agreed that the team would race for me, my team-mates did an excellent work," Greipel said. "Gerald Ciolek was very fast, so nobody had the possibility to be faster than me."

The 26 year-old opened the year by dominating the Tour Down Under, winning four of six stages and taking not only the overall title but also the first ProTour leader's jersey of the season.

Looking to the immediate future, Greipel said, "The yellow jersey is now our biggest objective. Tomorrow we expect another full day of work, but we can be calm, we already have a stage win." And with an eye on the more distant future, he noted, "The World championships in Varese are said to be quite difficult. I don't know the objectives of the team. I raced many days this year but I still have a good form, so I would be pleased to support the team."

Third place-finisher Förster was hoping for a win to recommend himself for a new team, since Gerolsteiner is ending this season. "It went well," he said. "But there was simply no way to get by the two ahead of me. I noticed, though, that I could do it and will continue to look for my chance here."

His team-mate, Bernhard Kohl, said, "Everybody expected an easy stage, but it was very hard. We rode an average speed of 47 km/h. When the two riders escaped, we tried to reach them. We gave all to chase them down, and I think that we can be happy about the third place of Robert Förster."

The race got off to a fast and nervous start, with multiple escape attempts by various groups, none of which was allowed to stay away. Finally, after not quite 80 kilometres, Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Telecom) and Tom Stubbe of Francais des Jeux successfully attacked out of the field. Neither was a threat to the yellow jersey, so they were allowed to build up a lead of nearly six and a half minutes. That was enough for the sprinters' teams to get nervous, so Columbia and Silence-Lotto led the chase, foreshadowing the outcome of the stage.

The two were caught with about seven kilometres to go, and then the preparations for the bunch sprint started. Columbia led the way under the one kilometre mark with three men in front, and Ciolek prepared the way for Greipel, with McEwen not far behind the larger powerful German – but nevertheless behind him.
