Stage 5 - Wurseln-Wurseln (Ger) 168,5 km in 4.17.46

The stage went from Wurseln to Wurseln (Ger), many climbs over 168,5 km. The two teammates Silovs (Let-ama) and Dainis Ozols (Let-ama, expro Novell) and John van den Akker (Ned-Foreldorado-Golff) escaped. Hans Pijpers (Ned-ama) who tried to join them stuck at only 10 metres.

After that try he had to let the three frontriders go. In the last two km Ozols tried to escape, but John van den Akker caught him. As you can guess, after this attempt it was Silovs who escaped and John has to do his work again.John was jammed between two teammates.
