53rd Course de la Paix/Friedensfahrt/Peace Race - 2.4Czech Republic, May 5-13, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 5 - May 8: Riesa - Zgorzelec (Pol), 170 kmHondo claims second win in as many daysDay four and stage five of the Peace Race saw it crossing into Poland for the first time, where it will remain until Thursday when it heads to the Czech Republic. The 169.6 kilometre stage from Riesa to Zgorzelec saw the two Poles in the top two positions on GC retain their placings aas the stage ended in a mass sprint. For the second time in two days it was Telekom's Danilo Hondo who gained the stage, beating a trio of "colourful" Bunte-Berte Leipzig riders: Enrico Poitschke, Andre Schulze, and Steffen Radochla completing a German top four. Hondo's powerful win, his sixth in total in the Peace Race, moved him up a little on the classification by virtue of some bonus seconds, but he is still 1:50 behind leader Piotr Wadecki (Mroz) and eight seconds behind Piotr Przydzial (MAT Ceresit). The peloton enjoyed a tailwind for the first part of the stage, and were comfortably cruising at 45-50 km/h, largely keeping together. However, this did not last and the group decided to call a "transition day" after three quite hard preceding days. The first sprint at 64 kilometres was won by Hondo from Bunte-Berte's Jorg Förster. Förster won the next, at 114 kilometres in Cunewalde as the field was still together. The Telekom and the Polish teams were doing such a good of of controlling things, that the satus quo was maintained until the finish in Zgorzelec, where Poland was denied a home town victory, but at least have two of their men in the top two spots overall. Hondo said of his teammate afterwards that "Wesemann [6th in the stage] has had an outstanding preparation for this race. If I have the chance to take a relatively easy victory, then I'll use him as well." The plan for the team is to wear down the Poles in the coming days to try and set up Wesemann for a late chance at the win. This is not straightforward as any Pole will attest. Olaf Ludwig commented that the race, also known as the Tour de France of the East, was quite hard this year. "There was some concern after Sunday about the toughness of the stage program," he said. "But they are professionals, and they have to live with such a workload." Others such as Uwe Raab (Nürnberger director) were not quite as supportive, claiming the 37 kilometre time trial would have been enough for the day. The gap between the last rider finishing in the morning 118 km stage and the afternoon 37 km ITT was only 20 minutes, and the two locations were not close to each other. Some riders missed their start and had to be content with some time losses. The race continues nevertheless with a 191 kilometre stage tomorrow from Luban to Kudowa Zdroj.
