Groningen-Münster - 1.4

Netherlands/Germany, September 27, 2000

Two not enough for Cologne

Rabobank dominated the Groningen - Münster Wednesday where Aart Vierhouten won a sprint in a small group. Already at 20 kms 22 riders got away and speed was indeed high, with 49.5 kilometres covered in the first hour. Team Cologne had six riders in the front group, Team Cologne four. With 30 kilometres lasting the group split in three on a small climb with two Cologne riders in a front quartet. Cologne's Björn Glasner led out for Raymond Meijs but Vierhouten still managed to win the sprint. Team Fakta's Swede, Marcus Ljungquist, took third.
