(These two look just like a Polish version of the Zberg brothers!) Wadecki beat the experienced Grzegorz Gronkiewicz (Weltour) and young Czech Petr Herman (PSK Remerx). Results1 Adam Wadecki (Pol) Mróz Supradyn Witaminy 3.19.00 2 Grzegorz Gronkiewicz (Pol) Weltour Radio Katowice 3 Petr Herman (Cze) PSK Remerx 4 Slawomir Chrzanowski (Pol) Weltour Radio Katowice 5 Hubert Nowak (Pol) Legia Bazyliszek 6 Wiktor Ulzen (Ger) General classification after stage 2a 1 Slawomir Chrzanowski (Pol) Weltour Radio Katowice Stage 2b - April 28: Chojnów - Glogów, 87 kmThe second half stage was just 85 kilometres, but the riders had to fight not only with each other, but also with heavy rain and even hail. Seven strong riders managed to escape from the peloton: Wacker, Piatek, Lupeikis (Mroz), Przydzial and Sosenka (CCC), Pawlak (Atlas) and race leader Slawomir Chrzanowski (Weltour). Chrzanowski again was the fastest and retained his lead, 2nd on the stage was Wacker, while third was Pawlak. Tomorrow is just an ITT, and Sosenka's prospects for the overall win are good since he's a very good time trialist. However, so is Eugen Wacker. Results1 Slawomir Chrzanowski (Pol) Weltour Radio Katowice 1.45.50 2 Eugen Wacker (Krg) Mróz Supradyn Witaminy 3 Wojciech Pawlak (Pol) Atlas Lukullus Ambra 4 Piotr Przydzial (Pol) CCC MAT 5 Remigius Lupeikis (Ltu) Mróz Supradyn Witaminy 6 Ondriej Sosenka (Cze) CCC MAT 7 Zbigniew Piatek (Pol) Mróz Supradyn Witaminy General classification after stage 2b 1 Slawomir Chrzanowski (Pol) Weltour Radio Katowice 8.41.52 2 Eugen Wacker (Krg) Mróz Supradyn Witaminy 0.10 3 Wojciech Pawlak (Pol) Atlas Lukullus Ambra 0.12 Stage 3 - April 29: Legnica - Legnica ITT, 17 kmThe final stage was a battle between Ondrej Sosenka (CCC) and Eugen Wacker (Mroz). The Czech won the stage, but the Kirgystani rider had some bonus seconds in hand, and took the GC. The race was dominated by foreign riders from Polish teams, and it looks like Wacker made enough (in terms of UCI points) to get him an entry into the 2001 World Championships.
