Zabel wins Paris-Tours for third time.

Erik Zabel took the expected win today in Pairs-Tours, just beating out Daniele Bennati of Lampre. Racing for the last time in the magenta colored jersey, Zabel was super motivated. Robbie McEwen did not get a good line in the final sprint (that usually is not a problem for him anyway) and came in 5th after fellow Aussie Allen Davis of Liberty-Seguros.
