km
Fast stage sees Dutchman
win
Dutchman Wilco Zuijderwijk, riding for the Dutch National team, became
the first non-German winner in this year's Niedersachsen Rundfarht after
he won stage four in a bunch sprint. The 178.6 kilometres stage from
Bueckeburg to Lueneburg almost went to Gerolsteiner's Olaf Pollack again,
but the Dutchman was able to outsprint him at the end. In thrid place
was a member of the German track squad, Sebastian Siedler. The stage
was extremely quick, at 46.4 km/h, and roughly 80 riders arrived at
the finish to contest the sprint.
The only notable escape was from Russian rider, Alexander Serow (18),
who attacked from the start and gained a 6:40 lead after 40 kilometres.
However, 50 kilometres later he was brought back by the strong teams
of Mapei, Gerolsteiner and Nürnberger.
Olaf Pollack kept his leader's jersey going into tomorrow's long,
232 km stage 5 from Lueneburg to Osterode. The real challange will be
on Sunday from Osterode to Duderstadt, containing six tough climbs.
