Tour of Slovenia - 2.5Slovenia, May 16-21, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 5 - May 21: Nova Gorica - Novo mesto, 187 kmKRKA-Telekom sweep the GCBy Marko Baloh The last stage was fast from the start, since KRKA-Telekom put their power together and maintained such a high tempo that nobody managed to escape (or didn't have the desire to do it), at least for the first half of a stage. There were some attempts though, one coming from Igor Kranjec who joined with Brian Walton (Canada), but all in vain. After the intermediate sprint in Cerknica, there was an attack by Seweryn Cohut, the Polish rider of Amore&Vita team. He gained a maximum lead of 3 minutes, and managed to hold off the chasing peloton by 46 seconds, winning the stage comfortably. A great effort by the Polish rider! The sprint for a second place was won by Peter Herman (PSK Unit Expert) and third place was taken by Charles Dionne (Canada). The first three places overall were taken by KRKA-Telekom riders, with overall victory for Martin Derganc, second place for Vladimir Miholjevic and third place for Boris Premuzic. So, a clean sweep for KRKA-Telekom, who were clearly the strongest team in a race.
