35th Internationale Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt - 2.4Germany, September 13-17, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 2 - September 14: Bad-Marienberg - Kirn, 214.2 kmVainsteins repeatsLatvian Romans Vainsteins (Vini Caldirola) took the second stage of the Internationale Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt, a 214 kilometre journey from Bad-Marienberg to Kirn. Vainsteins beat Mapei's Fred Rodriguez and Erik Zabel in a more conventional bunch sprint than the previous day. The Latvian who will ride for Domo next year now has a 17 second lead in the overall classification. Today was the longest stage and there were two main attacks: Stefan Steinweg (Bellheimer) tried a move after just 20 kilometres and he was joined by Dane Michael Blaudzun (Memory Card). The two escaped for 100 kilometres, obtaining a maximum lead of seven minutes. Both were eventually cuaght, but Steinweg gathered enough points in the intermediate sprints to take the jersey in that category. With 40 kilometres to go, a three man group consisting of Grischa Niermann (Rabobank), Michael Sandstød (Memory Card) and Artur Babaitsev (Nürnberger) caught and passed Blaudzun and tried to steal away from the field. They lasted until 10 kilometres to go when the bunch caught them and wound up for a big sprint. Tomorrow will see a split day with an 82.4 kilometre stage from Kirn to Trier in the morning followed by a 14.1 kilometre time trial in the afternoon.
