49th Olympia's Ronde - 2.5Netherlands, May 20-28, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 1 - May 21: Tilburg - Tilburg, 150 kmReport120 Riders started in Tilburg in the rain, with sad news for the Italians: two bikes from their team were stolen from the hotel. The Russians and Finnish riders were having some problems back in the peloton. After 31 km, Robert Hayles (Great Britain) attacked, getting a 35 second gap (virtual leader for a while), and the peloton covered 44.7 kilometres in the first hour. However, before the first sprint he was recaptured. The sprint was won by Wilco Zuijderwijk, in front of Adler Capelli and John den Braber. There were a lot of riders who had punctured by this point, and were chasing hard. At the feed zone the peloton broke into two parts. The first group led by 50 seconds. The third group was at 1.45. Blue jersey wearer, Bradley Wiggins (Great Britain) abandoned at this point. The second sprint was won by Rik Reinerink, from Martijn Lust and Joost Legtenberg. The race finished in Tilburg after a few closing laps, with the stage being won by Rudy Kemna (Bankgiroloterij) from Den Braber. Kemna took over the lead with this win. Jens Mouris (Van Vliet) became the new wearer of the blue jersey for the best young rider. Mikhail Mikheev (Rus) was disqualified because he didn't stop in front of a closed railway crossing.
