At that time he went to the Democratic Republic German. Two years later he was admitted as a member of the national team and was one of the best cyclists.

After the turn is passed to one of the first clubs which managed an amateur team semi-professional, RC Olympia Dortmund. Under the direction of Hennes Juckermann Zabel first started road racing and ended the German Championship Cycling 1991 in place two. With this victory the doors of the national team throughout Germany were opened.

Achieved his last big victory as an amateur in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, when he finished a 194 km race long way in the fourth. In septuplicate the same race the Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong only peaked at number fourteen. As a result, the then famous German professional team Telekom noticed the newcomer 23 years of age, being signed.

Since beginning his 16 year career Zabel could hold several victories. The German Cycling Federation maintains a national standings since 2000, Zabel leads since then. With a total of more than 200 victories, of these six green jerseys Tour de France, Zabel is considered the most successful active professional cyclist of the world.

On October 3, 2008, the 19th day of German unity, Zabel attending his last race in Germany. It will be the one-day race Münsterland Giro d'taking place since 2006. On an international basis Zabel say goodbye about a week after the Tour de Paris, who won in 1994, 2003 and 2005.

At the end of his great career Zabel gives his thanks to his team and Fans who supplied him with the backing and support even in difficult times. "I had a lot of fun this year and I was able to drive with the international competition at eye level. I do not know if that would be another season so I think it is a perfect time to retire. "Team-Manager Gerry van Gerwen said:" With Erik Zabel Milram team not only loses a significant athlete, but the industry cycle. We want to thank you for the great teamwork in the last three years. "

Although we must say goodbye to one of our cyclists, we can expect for the return of another. After the United States, American cyclist Lance Armstrong announced his return for next season, Jan Ullrich is thinking of doing the same. In an interview with German magazine stern.de line Ullrich said: "The past two years were very hard for me and my family but this is past. I am very happy and satisfied with my present life. A return is not part of it yet. But no one can look into the future: Never say never. Let's see what the future brings. "
