In stage 7, the ITT, Jens Voigt (CSC) crushed the field. He hung just over 1 minute on his closest challenger, Laszlo Bodrogi (Credit Agricole). The big GC guys, Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner) and Andrey Kashechkin (Astana) finished 1.14 and 1.20, respectively, off Voigt's blistering pace. With that performance Voigt locks up the Tour of Germany GC.
Stage 8 was for the sprinters. The final chance for Erik Zabel (Milram) to take a stage win in this years Tour of Germany. But he was again denied. Graeme Brown (Rabobank) took his second stage win of this tour.
Voigt secured the general classification followed by Leipheimer, Kashechkin, Vladimir Gusev (Discovery) and Evgeni Petrov (Lampre).
