37th Internationale Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt - 2.3
Germany, September 18-22, 2002
Stage 1 - September 18: Saarburg - Trier, 132.9 km
Lang wins first stage in breakaway
Gerosteiner's Sebastian Lang won the first stage of Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt in a five man group that took 15 seconds to another nine riders, with the peloton at 1.35. Fifteen riders got away on the undulating 133 km stage from Saarburg to Trier. With eleven kilometres to go the group split with two EDS-fakta riders in the front quintet. Nevetheless the Danes missed this opportunity by going the wrong way in a roundabout just before the sprint. Lang took the stage ahead of compatriot Rafael Schweda (Coast) and Markus Zberg. The two Danes managed to close the little gap and get the same time as the winner, quite important in this race where there is no TT stage. Jørgensen could also comfort himself with the Mountains jersey.
