Stage 2 - July 20: Zeulenroda - Greiz, 115.3 km
Stage neutralised in memory of Australian team
|
On Wednesday, it was decided that Stage 2 of the Thüringen-Rundfahrt between Zeulenroda and Greiz would be ridden under neutral conditions by the field, with the seven remaining Australian riders in the race crossing the line first, a little way ahead of the peloton. It was a symbolic gesture that was also performed by the Motorola team in the Tour de France 10 years ago, after Fabio Casartelli died on a descent during Stage 15 on July 18, 1995. The next day, the stage between Tarbes and Pau was neutralised and the six remaining members of the Motorola squad led the pack into the finish.
The first racing stage of this year's Thüringen-Rundfahrt will be on Thursday, between Greiz and Gera.
