Greipel spoils Zabel's party
Eurosport - Sat, 04 Oct 10:53:00 2008
German Andre Greipel beat out retiring compatriot Erik Zabel in a mass sprint to win the Munsterland Giro.
The Columbia rider pipped the 38-year-old Milram veteran to the line after the 209-km German one-day event.
Robert Forster of team Gerolsteiner took third as Belgian Rabobank rider Michael Van Staeyen was the best-placed non-German in fifth, finishing in front of CSC's Argentine sprinter Juan José Haedo.
The race was Zabel's final contest on home soil and a bittersweet end to a storied 16-year career that included six Tour de France green jerseys.
