24th International Niedersachsen Rundfarht - 2.5

Germany, April 11-20, 2000

Main Page    Results

Stage 7 - April 17: Duderstadt - Peine, 142,9 km

Gerolsteiner continues to roll

The German Gerolsteiner boys have shown that they are the team to beat in this year's Niedsachsen Rundfarht. So far, they have won 4 of the eight stages (if you include the prologue criterium) and have a strong grip on the leader's jersey. After winning yesterday's "queen stage" Torsten Schmidt retained the lead today in stage 7 from Duderstadt to Peine, which ended in a bunch sprint.

The winner was Mapei's Colombian born (but USA citizen) Fred Rodriguez, who beat Olaf Pollack (Gerolsteiner) and Martin Kryger (Fakta) into Peine. Pollack nearly added to his total of three stage wins today, and he now has a couple of second places with three stages to go. The Gerolsteiner team had to fend off attacks from Mapei, Cologne and Nürnberger before they could usher Schmidt safely to the finish today.

Tomorrow's stage eight will be 155.3 km from Peine to Wolfsburg, and should not present any major difficulty to Schmidt and his leader's jersey.
