2nd Tour of Germany - 2.3Germany, May 26-June 1, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 8 - June 1: Potsdam-Berlin/Kurfürstendamm, 139 kmExpected outcome29 year old David Plaza won the 2nd edition of the Tour of Germany today. The final stage became the expected show, with Erik Zabel expectedly winning the expected bunch sprint on the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. Two escapers, Jörg Ludewig (Saeco) and Klaus Mutschler (Coast) were caught only a couple of kilometres from the finish. No Telekom attacks towards the leading GC rider, Plaza were made. The winner David Romero Plaza rode for Festina in 1994 to 96 and then two years for Cofidis before he went downwards in the system to Benfica last year. He was rediscovered by Festina after winning the Volta ao Portugal. He is currently UCI ranked 154th but got 125 points for this win in the German Tour which will lift him considerably.
