Cadel Evans (Davitamon-Lotto) took top honors in one wild and wet stage. Evans came out on top of an all-out brawl on the final Cat. 1 climb of today's stage. Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner) stayed close to his English speaking friend, and put further time into Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile). LL holds the bright yellow jersey heading into tomorrow's TT, stage 8.
The weather was not so kind to the riders today, but the rain-soaked roads made for some great spectating. The Tour of Germany, errr Deutschland Tour, rocks! The German organizers laid down a scary mountain finish, just 24 hours before tomorrow's TT. Add in today's rain and cold weather, it was a recipe for war.
As usual there was an early break that contained a Liberty rider. Carlos Barredo went free with three others: Christian Müller (Team CSC), Volodimir Gustov (Fassa Bortolo) and Rory Sutherland (Rabobank). The crew worked their way up to a 9' advantage with 100K to go. Their fate would come at the end of a 173K stage, in the form of two Cat. 1 climbs, the final one being a summit finish.
After the early pace work by the German teams, T-Mobile and Gerolsteiner, it was Liquigas-Bianchi to take over for Danilo Di Luca. The cool green colors were all massed at the front of the peloton, jamming the pace over the top heading to the first of the two finishing climbs. The team work was paying off, the foursome's gap was down to 3' with 30K to go. Up the road Barredo was finding the opening slopes too much, he cracked on the 14% sections of the Notschrei.
Approaching the top of the Notschrei, Müller was the next to crack, then Sutherland. Manolo Saiz, Liberty DS, must have been shouting loudly at his riders and it worked, Alberto Contador flew from the peloton. Contador quickly bridged up to the sole survivor, Gustov. The Fassa rider was able to hang on, and top the Notschrei in front of Contador. The duo then made their way down to the valley for the start of the day's final climb to Feldberg.
The tension was running high in the main pack. Ulle and LL were marking each other closely, and others had their minds on a summit win. Fabian Jeker (Saunier Duval-Prodir) was most aggressive in the final kilometers, he launched with 5K to go, Ulle was right behind. Cadel Evans (Davitamon-Lotto), Georg Totschnig (Gerolsteiner), and LL followed, brining it back together for an elite group. Jeker threw it down again, LL was right on the Saunier man but Ulle was out the back door. The American was putting in valuable time on the German.
The accelerations closed down Contador's escape with 3K remaining. The riders were now eyeing each other when blue lighting struck down from the rainy skies: Jörg Jaksche (Liberty Seguros-Würth) put in a serious bid for stage freedom. Yet another Liberty man was was on the attack. Jaksche went too hard and fast, he blew, Evans and Jeker passed the German. The Aussie, Evans, kept the pace going and distanced Jeker for a stunning victory on wet German roads. BRAVO!
Ulle came to the line 42" behind the winner, Evans, putting him 1'26" (5th) back in the overall GC. All four riders ahead of Ulle on the standings will be trembling at the start of tomorrow's 31.1K TT. If the German has recovered he could blow the doors off of all the riders, and take back his time to win the overall. Or we might just see LL hold on to his lead and take a huge overall win. Another American, Saul Raisin (Crédit Agricole) in 8th, has been riding with wings. The 22 year-old has hung with the big boys over the last week, sending out signals of future cycling stardom.
