2nd Tour of Germany - 2.3Germany, May 26-June 1, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 5 - May 30: Stuttgart-Ansbach, 188 kmZabel's second in Germany
After several early attacks Fabio Sacci and Pierre Ackermann managed to get a gap which was at most four minutes to the peloton. Three riders, Bert Dietz, Dirk Müller and Jörg Jaksche, tried to reach the leading duo by breaking away from the peloton with 40 kms to go. For Jaksche this was also a chance to take the overall lead in his home town Ansbach. But the trio did not manage to hold the peloton off, neither did the two leaders. With twelve kilometres to go order was restored. The Telekom train could start working for Erik Zabel who won an expected sprint victory, his twelfth this season and his second in the Tour of Germany. For Gerolsteiner's Tobias Steinhauser this was a sad day. With only 18 seconds up to leading Jens Heppner his chances to win the race overall seemed to be good. Steinhauser is an excellent TT rider. Pains in one of his thighs became unbearable and he had to give up and leave the race at 137 kilometres. This leaves the field open for Heppner's team mate Andreas Klöden who already has won two major stage races, Paris-Nice and the Tour of the Basque Country on his TT ability. Tomorrow he starts with only 17 seconds up to Heppner. A warning could also be in place for Martin Rittsel (Memorycard).
