Stage 1 - May 30: Echternach-Dippach, 182 km
Zabel wins first stage of Tour of Luxembourg
German star sprinter Erik Zabel, of Team Deutsche Telekom, who only confirmed his participation at the last moment, has yet again tasted victory today in the first stage of the Tour of Luxembourg. Zabel won the sprint of the peloton after the 182 km long stage took the riders through Diekirch, Grousbous and Septfonaines to Dippach.
From the word go the race was made hard by a tough climb from Lauterborn, over Scheidgen to Consdorf. After 68 km a small group formed containing last year's overall winner Jorgen Bo Petersen of Team EDS fakta; Michael Sandstod from CSC Tiscali and Serguei Outschakov from CCC Polsat. Their lead went up to four minutes. The attack was not rewarded and the group was taken back by the peloton in Dippach.
The mass-sprint saw a very strong Zabel winning in front of Alberto Ongarato and Gert Vanderaerden.
Earlier in the stage, a sick Serge Baguet had to quit. He was forced to return home suffering from a serious stomach flu.
