58th Tour of Poland - 2.3Poland, September 3-9, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 8 - September 9: Jelenia Góra - Karpacz ITT, 19 kmSosenka clinches it in the TTBy Daniel Marszalek, cyclingnews.com correspondent After two and half hours break, the final decisive ITT stage started with just 65 riders. Young Ciesielski clocked a fast time of 33:07, and the experienced and very consistent Zbigniew Piatek (Mróz' best man after Chmielewski retired on morning) was just a bit slower. Kirchen, with another very good performance was just 0.1 of a second behind Piatek. Przydzial couldn't better these results coming at 33:13, Vainsteins was just 23rd and eventually lost 4th place overall to Kirchen. And then came the two meter giant to smash all previous times with astonishing 31:32 and a 36.15 km/h average. Race leader Voigt was not able to go close enough to that mark, and came 2nd at 0:46 deficit, easily beating all the others but more importantly losing the TdP on the final trial again (in 1999 he lost it to Tomasz Brozyna by 0:30), this time he was 0:28 slower than Sosenka overall. Maybe third time lucky next year? - we'll see. At least as a consolation thanks to this 2nd place on ITT he got the points jersey, taking it from future sprint star Angelo Furlan (Alessio) - a brave rider, who first beat Jaan Kirsipuu in Koszalin, and then survived the mountains as one of very few sprinters. The climber's jersey went to Ruggero Marzoli from Cantina Tollo - at least something for a typical size climber! The combativity award (total of points from intermediate sprints and GPMs) went to Mróz rider Kazimierz Stafiej, who gained it by winning the first climb on Sunday morning, the special GPM in memory of Joachim Halupczok (premium that had double points value). The intermediate sprints (active rider) classification were easily won by CCC-Mat sprinter Marcin Gebka, while CCC as team was clearly the best group (their 3rd man Cezary Zamana finished 14th overall) in the race with, more than half an hour advantage on Fassa Bortolo (30:21) and Servisco (31:48)! In these standings just 12 teams were classified, others finished whole race with less than three riders.
