16th Regio-Tour International - 2.3Germany, August 8-13, 2000Stage 5 - August 13: Lahr - Vogtsburg, 160 kmA French finaleThe final stage of the Regio Tour saw an end to the run of Italian stage victories as Jean Delatour's Patrice Halgand took the final stage in Vogtsburg. Halgand, the French climbing champion beat Belgian Jürgen van Roosbroeck (Vlaanderen 2002) and Italian Enrico Cassani (Polti) after the three managed a small gap on the rest of the field. The overall classification was held by Amica Chips' Fillippo Simeoni who finished 10th on the day. The parcours for the final stage involved seven ascents of the "Texas Pass", which suited Halgand's style. Denis Lunghi (Colpack) was another who joined the leading trio, although he was dropped in the closing stages. The main bunch was led home by Telekom's Andreas Klöden who finished third overall in the Regio Tour, and he rode very agressively on the final stage to try and take the lead from Simenoni. However, Simeoni's Amica Chips teammates were too vigilant for the German. Gerolsteiner's Uwe Peschel suffered a spectacular crash with 500m to go when his fork broke, and he now has a suspected broken leg. The time trial specialist has not had much luck this year with two bones broken in his hand in the spring.
