Bobby Julich/Jens Voight

[B. Lafferty]

Voigt-Julich devant

Le duo germano-américain de CSC, composé de Jens Voigt et Bobby
Julich, a volé la vedette samedi au sextuple vainqueur du Tour de France,
l'Américain Lance Armstrong, lors du contre-la-montre par équipes de deux,
disputé à Buehl.


Le duo de l'équipe danoise a parcouru les 82,2 km (6 tours à 13,7 km)
en 1 heure et 36 minutes 51 secondes et 20 centièmes devant plus de 120 000
spectateurs, sous un soleil de plomb. Six jours après sa victoire du Tour de
France, l'Américain Lance Armstrong, associé à son compatriote George
Hincapie, l'un de ses coéquipiers au sein de l'US Postal, a terminé à la
quatrième place, plus de trois minutes et demie après les premiers.

«C'est naturellement super. Mais je peux imaginer que Lance n'ait pas
couru ici à 100 %», a déclaré l'Allemand Jens Voigt.

Lance Amstrong, qui avait disputé la veille une course à Prague, avait
atterri quelques heures avant le départ à Buehl. Décontracté, le Texan
s'était laissé interrogé sur ses projets : «Je crois que je n'en ai pas fini
avec le Tour de France», avait-il dit. Il a reconnu qu'il vieillissait, mais
qu'il espérait pouvoir garder son niveau. Deux duos allemands de l'équipe
Gerolsteiner, Uwe Peschel-Michael Rich et Markus Fothen-Sebastian Lang, ont
terminé deuxième et troisième de la course.

Le classement :

1. Bobby Julich/Jens Voigt (USA/ALL) 1h36'51"20
2. Uwe Peschel/Michael Rich (ALL) 1h38'13"28
3. Markus Fothen/Sebastian Lang (ALL) 1h38'43"87
4. Lance Armstrong/George Hincapie (USA) 1h40'24"76
5. Andrea Peron/Kurt-Asle Arvesen (ITA/NOR) 1h41'55"58
6. Santos Gonzales/Bert Grabsch (ESP/ALL) 1h42'15"48
7. Grischa Niermann/Marc Wauters (ALL/BEL) 1h43'26"05
8. Christophe Moreau/Dimitri Murawjew (FRA/KZK) 1h45'07"63
9. Michael Rogers/Patrick Sinkewitz (AUS/ALL) 1h45'26"54
10. Thomas Voeckler/Christophe Kern (FRA) 1h47'51"34

Should have been Dekker/Wauters, of course, but Dekker is planning big
for the World Cup and Olympics.

How typical of Julich to actually race an event that nobody else is
actually trying to win. Somehow he'll try and convince some loser DS
somewhere that he's not washed up and deserves a contract. Nice work.
What a loser. </rondechamp>

What are you talking about? These ITT events are very prestigious to win and
are great showcase events. Every hear the phrase "the race of truth"?

Tom 'Trollfingers' Hunter didn't bother to note this is a UCI 1.2 event.
That they beat Uwe Peschel and Michael Rich says something.

Guys, guys, yes, I was JOKING, I think the win was a swell result.
Remember Ronde's post after the final TdF TT? That's what I was
rehashing.
