Stage 6 - June 15: Kitzbühel-Tamsweg, 171 km
Obwaller in yellow by a second
Hans-Peter Obwaller (Austrian National Team) has captured the yellow jersey by just one second in the penultimate stage of his national tour. Obwaller placed second in stage 6 from Kitzbühel-Tamsweg behind Hannes Hempel (Team Gericom Bikedrive) after the two had broken away. Obwaller had dropped his main rivals on the Tauernpass (1,739 m) and then worked together with Hempel to maximise his advantage at the finish. Race leader Gerrit Glomser (Saeco) finished 13th in a bunch 21 seconds behind the leading pair, and that was just enough for him to lose the jersey.
Thus, the 54th Tour of Austria will come down to its closest finish yet, with tomorrow's 200 kilometre stage from St. Michael/Lungau to Graz not an easy one. If Obwaller shows the same climbing prowess that he did today, he should be able to hold off the challenges from other teams, who have a reasonable chance of taking the win. He also has to be wary of the three time bonus sprints, worth 3, 2, 1 seconds each.
"It would be very nice I could win this year after placing second last year," said Obwaller, who confessed that he didn't have a good racing plan due to problems with getting a team this year. He was due to race with the Formaggi Trentini team in Italy, but that fell through and he has been forced to race with the division III Arbö Merida Graz team.
