Retsos comes off his bike
Panos Retsos ended the Bayer 04 bike ride after yesterday's first stage. The Greek came off his bike at the start of the first leg from Bad Bertrich to Koblenz, suffering a slight injury to his left hand.
Retsos completed the remaining 93 kilometres without any problems arriving in Koblenz in the afternoon but the Greece international was taken back to Leverkusen as a precaution. Retsos had a plaster cast fitted. He will be on the training ground once the swelling on his hand has gone down. The Werkself will make the next stop in Bonn this afternoon.
The team under coach Heiko Herrlich complete the tour tomorrow at the BayArena.

It has been a long time since feeling what it’s like to come away empty-handed. The last – and so far only – defeat of the season, in Elversberg, was two months ago. Since then, Bayer 04 have followed that up with seven wins and a draw. Now it has happened again away to TSG Hoffenheim. As the match progressed, the Werkself grew in confidence and “could even have scored the opening goal”, as Robert Andrich said after the game. In the end, it was the side from Sinsheim who sealed a 3–0 victory after “hectic closing stages” (kicker). The Werkself review.
