German sprint king Erik Zabel brought the curtain down on his career with the T-Mobile team by claiming his third victory in the Paris-Tours one-day classic today.
Zabel, who was riding his last race for the German outfit after 13 seasons, dominated a rare bunch sprint in the race to beat Italian Daniele Bennati of Lampre by half a wheel.
Australia's Allan Davis, of Liberty-Seguros, finished third with Australian champion Robbie McEwen, of Davitamon, finishing fourth.
