Mr. 2nd Gets a Win
Erik Zabel has been on a bad streak of second place finishes for a long time. Today he finally broke out of the slump and showed flashes of classic Erik Zabel. The typicaly sprint finish stage saw THOR Hishovd finish second and keep his overall lead.
Zabel is obviously happy with the result:
“Today I am very happy because the whole team worked for me and it’s good to see the train is working better and better,” said Zabel after notching just his second win of the season. “I am very happy with this victory.”
