37th Tour de l'Avenir - 2.5France, August 31-September 9, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 6 - September 5: Saint-Amand-Montrond - Autun, 190 kmTombak gives an Estonian winEstonian Janek Tombak (Cofidis) gave his team a win in the 6th stage of the Tour de l'Avenir, 190 km between Saint-Amand-Monrond and Autun, beating Vlaanderen 2002 rider, Bjorn Leukemans and Bonjour's Sylvain Chavanel after yet another breakaway succeeded. Hungarian Laszlo Bodrogi (Mapei) retained his yellow jersey as race leader. The decisive break of five (Marcel Gono (CA) and Stéphane Berges (Big Mat) were the other two) came after 50 kilometres of racing, working well together to reach a maximum lead of 5 minutes with 40 kilometres to go. The major difficulty on the closing circuit in and around Autun was "les Rampes de Montjeu", a 5 kilometre rise at 13%. Chavanel, holder of the mountains jersey, attacked on this hill but was joined by his other breakaway companions with less than two kilometres to go. In the finish, the Estonian was strongest as he led out Leukemans. In addition, Janek Tombak will join compatriots Jaan Kirsipuu and Lauri Aus in the professional ranks next year after his contract was confirmed with Cofidis.
