Wesemann rolls them in GippingenThe 37th edition of the Kanton Aargau/GP Gippingen resulted in win number two this week for Telekom's Steffen Wesemann after he won the Rund um Köln last Monday. The category 1.1 event came down to a four up sprint, with Wesemann having to contend with Stefano Garzelli (Mercatone-Uno), Laurent Dufaux (Saeco) and Lance Armstrong (US Postal). Wesemann was clearly the best sprinter out of these riders, but Garzelli managed to surprise with second, while Dufaux and Armstrong took third and fourth. The field sprint for fifth was won by last year's winner, Romans Vainsteins (Vini Caldirola) by several seconds. The race was decided with two laps (40 kilometres) of the finishing circuit to go, when Wesemann, Garzelli, Armstrong and Dufaux broke clear. The bunch wasn't too far behind, but could not manage to coordinate things in order to catch the leaders. Wesemann has ridden this race several times, managing to finish third in 1995, and he used his experience to advantage to escape. Once this was accomplish, he just needed to ensure that the others did not slip away in order to use his powerful sprint. The 29 year old was able to record his third season victory and is looking forward to the Peace Race this coming Friday - an event that he has won four times already.
