25th International Thüringen-Rundfahrt - 2.7.1Germany, June 2 - 8, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 2 - June 4: Meiningen - Mühlhausen, 163 kmJelitto justMathias Jelitto became the new leader of the U-23 Thuringen Rundfarht after he won the 163 kilometre stage from Meiningen to Mühlhausen. At first though, the organisers announced that National Team rider, Patrick Sinkewitz was the new leader, causing a little confusion. Later, the jury found that there was a slight gap between the first rider, Jelitto, and the remaining 17 riders in the top group. That was sufficient to record separate times, giving Jelitto the lead. Prologue winner, Thorsten Hiekmann lost nearly seven minutes today to go completely out of contention after wearing the yellow jersey for the past two days. The stage was quite challenging, with three mountains to be tackled in the first 50 kilometres. This caused a split in the bunch, with 18 riders getting clear.
