60th Tour of Luxembourg - 2.2Luxembourg, June 8 - 11, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 2 - June 9: Wormeldange-Bertrange, 210 kmLongest stage sees Elli in the leadThe 210 km stage two was the longest and toughest of the Tour of Luxembourg. Two 1-in-5 climbs combined with three others, meant that there would be reasonable sized gaps by the finish. On the third climb, Telekom's Alberto Elli attacked, taking 9 other riders with him, including Lelli (Cofidis), Loda (Fassa Bartolo), Ivanov (Farm Frites), Sörenson and Kristensen (Fatka). A chase group of 13 formed including Henk Vogels and 4th placed Matteo Tosatto. They could only get within 1:20 of the leaders, eventually finishing 5:05 down. Yellow jersey, Filipo Simeoni didn't make the break and he was a part of this chasing group also. The final sprint was taken by Nicola Loda from Ivanov and Elli. The latter claimed the leader's jersey with Loda and Ivanov now second and third.
