Successful comeback for Gerdemann

Linus Gerdemann powered his way to the lead in the Deutschland Tour in a solo, proving that he has fully recovered from the severe injuries he suffered in a crash earlier in the year. The Team Columbia rider won the queen stage and took over the leader's yellow jersey. Behind his was his teammate Thomas Lövkivst and Astana's Janez Brajkovic, second and third both on the stage and in GC.

"After my injury, nobody figured on this," he said. "That was a hard day's work."

Gerdemann won by only 17 seconds, but it should have been more, as he lost time due to an unusual problem in the last few kilometres. His radio earphone fell out and caught in his gear chain. "I lost a lot of time with that. It cost me at least 30 seconds." He considered changing bikes, but realized that would cost him even more time.

Gerdemann thanked his teammates for their help in setting up his win. Columbia led the chase of an escape group, with Tony Martin and Marcel Sieberg doing much of the lead work. After the break was finally caught, Marcus Burghardt went to the front and led the way up the final climb to the mountaintop finish. The group fell apart on the ascent, and when Burghardt fell back, Lövkivst took over.

In the end it was down to the top three, and Gerdemann pulled away with about 10 km to go. He never had a big lead, but it was big enough.

The stage was marked by a long escape, which got away less than 10km into the stage. Daniel Musiol of Volksbank-Corratec was the first to go, and he was quickly followed by Kasper Klostergaard (CSC), Dominik Roels (Milram) and Jérémy Roy (Francaise des Jeux). They had a lead of up to eight minutes, but that started coming down on the three big climbs of the day.

Several riders dropped out along the way. Yellow-jersey wearer Brett Lancaster had to abandon due to intestinal problems, and Denis Menchov was just too tired to continue.

The field had already split by the time they had finished the second of three climbs, and a mass crash split it still further. Some 20 or so riders went down. There seemed to be a lot of damaged equipment, and some riders had to wait along time for repairs or new bikes. Everyone eventually got back up and going except for Serguei Yakovlev of Astana, who had to abandon.

Roels got away from his companions shortly before they were caught and continued on his own, but he was caught too at the start of the final climb.

The peloton fell totally apart on the climb. The group got smaller and smaller, with Linus Gerdemann, Lövkvist and Pietro Caucchioli (Credit Agricole) taking the lead. Gerdemann pulled away from his two companions on the way up.

Lövkvist and Caucchioli were eventually joined by Janez Brajkovic of Astana and Bauke Mollema of Rabobank. Brajkovic attacked again, and only Lövkivst could go with him.

Gerdemann looked nervously back over his shoulder as he hit the 500 meter marker, but kept on going. He went full speed into the finish, aware that every second counted. It was a double success for Columbia, as Lövkvist crossed the finish line 16 seconds later, ahead of Brajkovic.

Some big names were very far down. Jens Voigt of CSC, who has won the race the last two years, lost all chances of the "three-peat" as he finished 8:48 down. Bernhard Kohl of Gerolsteiner was even further back, at 9:18.
