2nd Tour of Germany - 2.3Germany, May 26-June 1, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 2 - May 27: Wiesbaden-Pforzheim, 203 kmZabel wins stage 2 for number 11
Telekom's Erik Zabel made it two in a row for team Telekom as he won the 203 km second stage of the Tour of Germany from Wiesbaden to Pforzheim. In doing so, the World Cup leader notched up his 11th season victory. He beat Andreas' Klier and Kappes in a bunch sprint. Zabel's teammate and 1999 overall winner, Jens Heppner, kept his white leader's jersey after Telekom controlled the race when it mattered. Again, the stage was held under wet conditions, and there were many falls unfortunately. The only real attack came from Sven Teutenberg and Bjorn Glasner who tried to escape after 130 kilometres. However, they were caught with 11 kilometres to go. The Telekom train then kept the tempo high in order to set up Zabel around the tricky finishing circuit in Pforzheim. Zabel didn't have the assistance of lead out man, Gian Matteo Fagnini when it mattered, but he was still able to handle himself in the sprint. Tomorrow's 216 kilometre stage between Pforzheim and Bad-Durheim will be critical in determining the overall winner. Passing though Ullrich's training grounds in the Black Forest, the riders will tackle the Kandel - 1240 m, with sections of up to 15 percent.
