2006 Deutschland Tour

The 30th edition of the Deutschland Tour road bicycle race took place in Germany from 1 to 9 August 2006. It consisted of a Prologue and eight stages covering a total of 1390.5 km, starting in Düsseldorf and finishing in Karlsruhe. Jens Voigt claimed the victory ahead of defending champion Levi Leipheimer.

Stage 5 - Sunday 6 August: Bad Tölz-Seefeld, 192.1 km.
Because of bad weather on top of Mount Kühtai (Top of the Deutschland Tour 2006 at 2017 meters), the riders asked the organisation before the start to remove it from the Stage, which they did. As a result, the stage was only 160 kilometres long.
