The second stage was flat on Saturday morning from Beautiful Heathland from over 25 km and 400 meters altitude in the direction of Schindler's factory. For the first time a stage has started with the complete 12-strong field of riders. Even before the launch was already released Hans-Georg Sobek, now the way with its chic mountain-dotted beetles Jersey, missing. Contrary Initial information from press circles, it was not his carrier, he had lost, no, 100 meters after the start he decided not by the prevailing road conditions, the remaining 24.9 km on this day with slicks but even driving with a flat tire on the rim to taste. He quickly rejected his tactics and then moved it to a new tube. The peloton waiting on the roadside, however good, solved by Hans-Georg had his breakdown and finally was able to really kick.
the 1.3 km up towards the dam's gaze went taut pace. To the project by Alexander Steiner from only Stützengrün always take out the pace, I could not and would not comment because of the great distance profile today. Shortly before reaching the highest point, I was simply just accelerates and ripped a hole between me and my pursuers, which for the last 10 km to the target only Alexander Steiner could close. Together we drove the last 5 miles and I was able to single with my first stage win in the everlasting annals of the Tour. At the positions expected, followed the favorites Steiner, Sobek, Dinger, Illman and Milew.
conclusion after Stage 2:
After the multi-went-not-stage last weekend I was able to recapture most radiant power spot 3 and make up for even a few seconds on the mountain beetles from Zwickau. Alexander Steiner runs a class by itself and can not take the Tour win in normal circumstances. This keeps the tension in the award of 2-6. SAXON BANK leaders again today, but also quite ... continued today at the rear entrance of the ORE-tour to the Vogtland ....
