We\'ve seen some good performances from Andreas Klöden and Ivan Basso, who could be the next generation of Tour winners. Ullrich was a little disappointing in fourth, but he\'ll be back for another crack next year. Will Armstrong? We\'ll see...
Anyone who thought that our lads would get a chance to rest their legs after the Tour and indulge in a spot of hobby gardening was certainly wide of the mark. There is no let-up in the race program. Two days after the sprint showdown on the Champs Élysées Jan Ullrich was back in the saddle and rolling his legs on the criterium circuit.
Our other \"Tour Giants\" Erik Zabel, Rolf Aldag and Andreas Klöden were also busy on the post-Tour criterium circuit animating races and meeting their fans. Once they get their legs rolling again, the momentum just takes over. And with the fantastic atmosphere at the city circuits the kilometres just fly by.
The riders tackled the next \"big one\" on their program at the HEW Cyclassics in Hamburg on Sunday already. The World Cup race in the north German port city is the biggest event in the German race calendar and the race organisers did a great job. They prepared a great route, which was challenging for the riders without threatening their safety. There could be a lesson there for some other race organisers.
The race itself was more exciting than it has been for a number of years. It once again spelled out how the quality gap between teams has narrowed. At the end of the 250-km leg-breaker about a dozen teams were jockeying to set up their top men for the final gallop. The Gerolsteiner team led out the sprint for their man, the World Cup leader Davide Rebellin and Quick Step fought hard for last year\'s champion Paolo Bettini.
It was a twist of fate that in the end, neither of these teams could celebrate a race win. The honour of leading the 30-stong lead bunch home went to a real dark horse; the Australian Stuart O\'Grady from the French Cofidis team. He seemed to have come out of nowhere to nip it on the line. But as I already said: It has all become very tight at the top.
Our team also set out to impress on \"home ground\". Unfortunately, we were plagued by bad luck on the day. \"Erik Zabel had a mechanical at the decisive point in the race, so that our sprint star had to be guided back to the front again. That was energy sapping, not just for his team-mates, but also for Erik and definitely cost him a better placing. That\'s also true for Jan, who soldiered hard at the front of the race, closing gaps and marking breakaways.
Just a quick word on the subject of Jan and our Team manager Walter Godefroot. That has dominated media coverage recently, while unfortunately the sporting dimension has taken a back-seat; but the two have now started new discussions and I am sure that they will lay the groundwork for much shared success in the future.
die letzten Tage waren wirklich aufregend. Ich fahre die Rennen nach der Tour sehr gerne, weil ich euch nirgendwo näher sein kann. Eure Unterstützung in Graz, Mayerhofen und in Hannover war wirklich toll.
Riesig, was in Hamburg bei den HEW Cyclassics wieder los war. Überall trieb mich und die anderen Fahrer eine Welle der Begeisterung nach vorne. Ich habe das Rennen sehr genossen, auch wenn ich letztlich keine Entscheidung herbeiführen konnte, als ich am Waseberg angriff.
Euer Zuspruch während der Autogrammstunde an der Alster war mir sehr wichtig. In den Gesprächen erfahre ich, wie ihr so denkt. Leider reichte die Zeit nicht, um alle Wünsche zu erfüllen.
In Hamburg habe ich wie angekündigt auch die Gespräche mit T-Mobile-Teamchef Walter Godefroot begonnen. Wir werden uns in Kürze wieder zusammensetzen, um alle Probleme zu behandeln und unsere Differenzen beizulegen.
Wir haben doch beide das gleiche Ziel: Wir wollen den Erfolg!
Um erfolgreich sein zu können, müssen aber alle Details stimmen.
