Criterium International 2 : Mikel 16th

In the second stage of the Criterium International Mikel Astarloza and Egoi Martinez managed to stay in front of the peloton. Egoi Martinez has been in an early breakaway but they didn't stay in front. Jens Voigt and Simon Gerrans made the race today and they sprinted for the victory. At 300 metres Gerrans sprinted away and took the victory. Mikel became 16th in the next groupe at 1:43 and is now 15th in the general rank. Egoi Martinez became 17th in the same time as Mikel and is now 12th in the general rank. Later today the time trial will be held and maybe Mikel and Egoi can raise some spots in the general rank.
