August 19/10 12:59 pm - Enco Tour: Stage 2


Posted by Editoress on 08/19/10
 

Andre Greipel (Team HTC-Columbia) won today's 198.5 km stage that started in the Netjerlands and finished up in Belgium. Svein Tuft (Garmin - Transitions) finished 31st in the same time as the winner and holds onto the overall lead for a 3rd day.

 

Micheals Barry is listed as DNS, after a crash yesterday where he was injured (suspected broken rib)

 

HTC-Columbia's Andre Greipel took the team's 87th victory of the 2010 season at the Eneco Tour Thursday with yet another perfectly executed sprint finish in the centre of Ardooie in Belgium. The HTC-Columbia riders used their speed and lead out skills to perfectly position Greipel in the final kilometre, resulting in an explosive sprint and a stage two win.
 
"It was difficult to hold a good position in the bunch and so we decided to wait and hit the front in the final kilometres of the stage when there was a headwind," Greipel explained.   "Mark Renshaw dropped me off on Boasson Hagen's wheel just before the tight corner, with 1.5km to go. It was perfect, and I did the rest.  I trusted my teammates and they trusted me. It's great to get the first win of the race and now anything else is a nice bonus."
 
Friday's third stage at the Eneco Tour is around the town of Ronse in the heart of the cycling-mad Flanders region of Belgium.
