Cappelle surprises in Bochum
by Susan Westemeyer
Andy Cappelle of Team Landbouwkredit-Tönnisteiner won the Internationalen Sparkassen Giro in Bochum, Germany, finishing ahead of Gerolsteiner's Tom Stamsnijder and Bert Grabsch of T-Mobile.
The race consisted of 12 laps of a 14,6 km long course through downtown Bochum. About halfway through the race, a group broke away and stayed away. With four laps to go, Stamsnijder attacked for a solo break, before he was joined by Cappelle. The Belgian broke away with 2 km to go and was able to win nine seconds ahead of the Dutch rider. Grabsch had also attacked out of the group and came in 20 seconds down. The rest of the group arrived at the finish six seconds behind him. The peloton came in some three and a half minutes behind the winner.
