Tour de France, France

Stage 7, Lunéville - Karlsruhe, 228.5K

8 July

Aussie Champ Doubles Up

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

Today's stage finish in Karlsruhe Germany was a pure adrenalin rush. The Aussie pocket rocket, Robbie McEwen (Davitamon-Lotto), showed everyone a clean pair of wheels to notch his second Tour de France stage victory this year. Americano, Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel), dodged sprint victims to finish safe in the bunch, keeping the maillot jaune.

The cool weathered continued today. In fact, riders were dressed in knee warmers and arm warmers to ward off the weather. Throughout the stage the riders rode in and out of rain showers, but thankfully the roads remained dry for the finish.

The move of the day went at kilometer 53. The protagonist was 25 year old Fabian Wegmann of Team Gerolsteiner. This was not too surprising given that Wegmann is German and he rides for a German team. Further, today's stage finished in Germany and would be a perfect opportunity for some publicity. Germans came out in droves today to cheer on local boy, Wegmann, but he would need much more than his countrymen's cheers to fend off the peloton. Today was one of the last chances for the sprinters to take a victory for a while, and they weren't about to let a solo breakaway stay clear.

Wegmann's lead got as high as 8'30", but you just knew that his chances were doomed. It wasn't all for nothing though. By virtue of being away for the majority of the stage, Wegmann was able to clean up on the hot spots and landed himself the polka dot climber's jersey for his efforts.

At 31K to go the riders had to negotiate some rail lines, which if you've ever ridden a bike, you know you must cross them at a 90 degree angle. Several riders overlooked this detail and went down hard. Chief among them was GC threat, Francisco Mancebo (Illes Balears). Armstrong, as always, was at the very front of the race at the time and made it unscathed.

Predictably, Wegmann was reeled with about 20K to go, but not before pocketing several thousand Euro for his exploits. At this point, Davitamon-Lotto and Quick-Step were heading the peloton with Kevin Hulsmans and Johan Vansummeren doing the lion's share of the work.

As the peloton barreled into the streets of Karlsruhe it was all Française des Jeux, Cofidis, Davitamon-Lotto and Quick-Step sharing turns on the front. Matt White was riding out of skin to get his mate, Stuart O'Grady who was in with a chance. Hulsmans was doing the same for his boss, Tom Boonen (Quick-Step). In the last turn it was Brad McGee hammering on the front trying desperately to set something up for Baden Cooke (FDJ). Cooke quickly faded though and was washed over by many riders. McEwen, with elbows out and massive quads bulging, exploded and narrowly edged a hard charging Boonen for his second victory in a row. His chances for a green jersey are not looking too good, but his goal of stage victories is met.

Sadly the stage finish also involved some tumbling of sprinters. In the mix and fighting for position, the peloton faded right. Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros-Würth) followed and clipped Isaac Gálvez (Illes Balears). Both Isaac and Angelo Furlan (Domina Vacanze) hit the deck and the peloton scrabbled around them.
