Niedersachsen Rundfahrt - 2.4Germany, April 25-29, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Niermann triumphs in Rabobank winGerman Grischa Niermann has won overall classification of the Niedersachsen-Rundfahrt, that finished today with a 137.8 km stage from Bückeburg to Hameln. Niermann placed 25th in the final leg, which was won by Alexandre Usov (Phonak), his second stage win of the tour. In second place overall was 1999/2000 winner, Torsten Schmidt (Gerolsteiner). 41 riders made it to the finish in Hameln after another tough stage peppered with climbs. Laurent Jalabert (CSC) showed some comeback form by placing highly in many of them, but it was not enough for him to take the final climber's jersey, won by Pedro Horillo Munoz (Mapei). For 24 year old Niermann, it was a sign of his promise. He was selected in Rabobank's Tour de France team last year, although he had yet to record a victory until now. "After doing badly in spring, I doubted myself," he said. His victory was set up via his second place in the opening day's time trial. He subsequently managed to finish each stage with the leading group, and Torsten Schmidt could not close the 16 second gap. Rabobank also triumphed by taking the green sprinter's jersey, with Bram de Groot. The best U23 rider was Mapei neo-pro Patrick Sinkewitz, while the team's classification was won by Gerolsteiner.
