The 3rd tour of Germany took place from May 29th to June 4th 2001 . It led from Hamburg over 1,235.1 kilometers to Stuttgart across the republic. 142 drivers from 18 professional teams started, 101 of them reached the finish.
As in the past two years, the tour had to compete with the Giro d'Italia , which was held at the same time . Since the crowd puller Jan Ullrich preferred to train his form for the upcoming Tour de France there, the spectator interest decreased slightly.
course
The first four stages were all about the sprinters. Tom Steels on the first stage, Erik Zabel on the second and third and Óscar Freire, who had been injured for a long time, on the fourth stage secured the victories. Zabel picked up the leader's white jersey at the end of the second stage from Steels and didn't give it up until the individual time trial . Before that, Matthias Buxhofer was able to secure the day's victory on the fifth stage when he saved a two-second lead at the finish. As in the previous year, the winner of the time trial Alexander Vinokurow won the tour this year . Favorite Andreas Klöden fell and could not fulfill the hopes placed in him. At the end of the day he was third. With the final daily victories of Rolf Aldag , who fought his way through snow and hail on the royal stage in the Black Forest , and Zabel, who again won the mass sprint, the Telekom team demonstrated its supremacy in German cycling ahead of the Gerolsteiner and Coast team .
