Postgirot Open - Tour of Sweden - 2.3Sweden, June 13 - 17, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 5 - June 17: Jönköping-Göteborg, 200 kmMinali wins final stage, Hushovd the GCThe finish of the Postgirot Tour of Sweden in Gothenburg was a success, and big crowds greeted the riders in the final three laps. The winner of the stage was Italian rider Nicola Minali (Tacconi Sport-Vini Caldirola). His victory didn't change the general classification, and the overall winner was Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole). Today's stage started in Jönköping and had its finish on the Kungsportsavenue in central Gothenburg. The stage ended in a three kilometre lap that was ridden three times. The winner Nicola Minali took his first victory in two years and he now has a total of 47 victories. Thor Hushovd took his biggest pro victory when he won the 20th edition of the Tour of Sweden. He won two stages and finished in top 10 on two more stages. On top of that he also won the points classification. He will now ride the Norwegian Championships and the Tour de France. Hushovd is the second Norwegian to win the Postgirot Open. Atle Kvålsvoll won the race in 1989 after a strong ride in Klevaliden. Kvålsvoll had a part in Hushovd's victory as well, since he was the coach for the national team where Thor rode for three seasons. Kvålsvoll was also the one who helped Thor getting a pro contract with Credit Agricole. The best Swede was Martin Rittsel (CSC-Worldonline) who finished eighth. German rider Roberto Lochowski (Team Fakta) won the sprints competition for the second consecutive year. He had a lead of three points this morning, but increased his lead with five points when he won the final sprint in Borås. The U23 competition was won by Kristoffer Ingeby. He rode for the national team, and is normally based in France where he races with his team CC Etupes.
