Bru on the attack in Deutschland


Jon Bru lit up today's third stage of the Deutschland Tour. Jon attacked the bunch and bridged up to the break with some 50 kilometres left to ride. Jon rode impressively on the hilly terrain, but he had to let go with approxiamtely 9 km remaining. Though, the break didn't stay away, so a sprint would decide today's winner. Only Dioni and Jon managed to stay with the peloton, but none of them tried to mix it with the sprinters. Instead, Dioni came home 38th and Jon 75th, both on the same time as winner Zabel. The other 6 riders had a rather bad day in the saddle. Alán Pérez was 83rd and Juanjo 88th at 1:34, Antton, who by the way launched the first attack of the day, came home a distant and disappointing 146th, a whopping 10 minutes and 25 seconds back, while Unai Uribarri, Aitor and Koldo came in with the last group 14:39 down. Another disappointing and disillusioning performance from the team in Germany, but surely there must be light in the end of the tunnel...
