Kittel schlägt Renshaw und Cavendish

Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano) hat den Auftakt der 26. Ster ZLM Toer in den Niederlanden gewonnen.

Der 24-jährige Arnstädter konnte sich nach 151 Kilometern von Eindhoven nach Sittard/Geleen im Massensprint gegen den Australier Mark Renshaw (Rabobank) sowie den britischen Weltmeister Mark Cavendish (Sky) durchsetzen. Der Rostocker André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) wurde hinter dem Niederländer Kenny van Hummel (Vacansoleil-DCM) und dem Italiener Giacomo Nizzolo (Radioshack-Nissan) Sechster der Auftaktetappe.

„Heute war ein guter Tag. Gestern siegt die deutsche Fußball-Nationalmannschaft, heute ich“, kommentierte Tagessieger Kittel seinen sechsten Saisonerfolg durch den er zugleich die Führung in der Gesamtwertung des viertägigen Rundfahrt durch die niederländischen Provinzen Nordbrabant und Limburg übernehmen konnte. Mit vier Sekunden führt der Thüringer vor dem Tageszweiten Renshaw sowie dem zeitgleichen Niederländer Rens Te Stroet (Team Jo Piels), der als Ausreißer Zeitgutschriften bei den Zwischensprints sammeln konnte.
