2nd Tour of Germany - 2.3Germany, May 26-June 1, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 7 - May 31: Herzogenaurach, ITT, 36 kmTelekom out of contention, Festina doublesThe ITT stage was a shock for Telekom. Favourite Andreas Klöden lost 40 seconds to Spaniard David Plaza (Festina) and trails him by 42 seconds overall before tomorrow's 139.4 kms "exhibition" to Berlin. Udo Bölts in third is 1.26 behind and the team also has Jens Heppner in sixth at 2.06 and Aldag in eighth at 2.40. The question is if the crew on the german flagship finds it worthwhile to attack tomorrow. This stage was also said to be Jan Ullrich's first attempt at "real racing" as a test for the Tour de France. He lost 2.33 to Plaza and German experts, such as "altmeister" Rudi Altig are expressing lost hopes for a German Tour win. Ullrich himself is not disappointed: "It went better than my last ITT at Midi Libre. I am satisfied with the whole week, I have worked a lot for the team and I have recuperated easily. That is a good sign. I'm on the right track," he told German news agency DPA. Results1. David Plaza (Spa) Festina 42.53 2. Andreas Klöden (Ger) Deutsche Telekom 0.40 3.
