Rogers übernimmt Gelb in Kalifornien

Michael Rogers aus Australien hat nach der fünften Etappe der Kalifornien-Rundfahrt die Führung in der Gesamtwertung im Sonnenstaat übernehmen.

Der australische HTC-Columbia-Profi konnte sich dank einer Zeitbonifikation für seinen zweiten Platz am US-Amerikaner David Zabriskie (Garmin-Transitions) vorbeischieben, der Dritter wurde. Den 195,5 Kilometer langen Tagesabschnitt von Visalia nach Bakersfield gewann der Slowake Peter Sagan aus der italienischen Liquigas-Mannschaft im Sprint.

Bester Deutscher wurde der Rostocker Paul Martens aus der niederländischen Rabobank-Mannschaft als Fünfter vor Rogers HTC-Teamkollegen Tony Martin. Der Berliner Jens Voigt (Saxo Bank) fuhr als Neunter ebenfalls unter die ersten Zehn.

Aufgeben musste die achttägige Rundfahrt durch den US-Bundesstaat dagegen Tour-de-France-Rekordgewinner Lance Armstrong (RadioShack). Nach einem Sturz konnte der 38-jährige Texaner nicht mehr weiterfahren. Ebenfalls nicht mehr im Rennen ist der Deutsch-Australier Heinrich Haussler aus der Schweizer Cervélo-Mannschaft, der ebenfalls in dern Sturz verwickelt war.

In der Gesamtwertung führt der dreimalige Zeitfahrweltmeister nun vor dem zeitgleichen Zabriskie. Zehn Sekunden hinter dem Duo folgt Zabriskies Landsmann und Vorjahressieger Levi Leipheimer vom Armstrong-Team RadioShack.
