53rd Course de la Paix/Friedensfahrt/Peace Race - 2.4Czech Republic, May 5-13, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 10 - May 13: Karlove Vary - Prague, 170 kmPoles togetherSuccess for Poland, and on the last stage also for Czechia, but disappointment for Germany. That's the summary of the 53rd peace race held through the three countries. Ondrej Sosenka of the third division team PSK Unit attacked the parading peloton with 35 kilometres to go and managed to hold the field off to win in popular style in his country's capital Prague. It's been four years since a Czech last won a stage. Jaczek Mickiewicz (Mroz), took second by winning the bunch sprint and Andreas Beikirch was third. Steffen Wesemann, who was given the captain's role in the race as a thanks for good spring performance in Telekom, tried to set up the bunch sprint for Danilo Hondo but he came only fourth. Some kilometres from the finish a crash occurred when two riders collided with a tram, their injuries unknown for the moment. Wesemann's disappointment showed also after the race when he concluded that the Poles had some pride for their nation and stuck together while the German teams were racing against Telekom. He addressed this to Uwe Ampler, who on the King's stage eight refused, to say the least, to help his compatriots in Telekom. Nevertheless it was Telekom's own tactics, or lack of them, on the road to Halle on stage four that sealed their fate.
