Sergej Lagutin from Navigators Insurance Cycling was the surprise winner of the first stage of the Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt, beating sprinters Steffen Radochla (Wiesenhof) and Gerald Ciolek of T-Mobile.

The 177 km through Germany's Pfalz region were marked by heavy rain and storm-force winds. After 65 km, Lars Wackernagel (Team Sparkasse), and Christian Pömer and Mariusz Witecki, both of Team Volksbank, got away and built up a lead of up to 4.20. After 90 km in the lead, they were overtaken by the peloton, which was led by T-Mobile, which hoped to prepare a sprint for Ciolek.

However, with 20 km to go, the Uzbehki rider broke away, quickly building up a hefty lead. The peloton was slow to react, and he was able to win by 16 seconds. "I am very happy that my brave attack was rewarded," said the 2003 U23 World champion, who took over the the leader's jersey.

Thursday's second stage runs 145.5 km from Landau to Worms, and features four classified climbs, and should be a vast departure from today's sprint finish.
