Manan takes tough stage
By Remko Kramer
Hainan is a beautiful tropical island, with sandy beaches and lots of palm trees. The roads are lined with many rice fields and typical Chinese villages. The riders, however, have no time to look after the nice scenery - they have to be aware all the time, because of the constant winds the island is exposed to. Japanese rider Miyataka Shimizu (Nippo Corporation - Meitan Honpo Co LTD - Asada) was one of the victims in the strong crosswinds on today's stage, he took the term 'riding in the gutter' a little too literally.
How it unfolded
There were some break-away attempts early on the 158.5 kilometre Stage 2, but the Russian National Team chased any small group that attempted to go up the road. But even the Russians couldn't prevent Kazuya Okazaki (Nippo Corporation - Meitan Honpo Co LTD - Asada) from forming a break to catch some bonus seconds, making him the virtual leader at that time.
China's Haijun Ma (China Skoda Team) showed himself again in another break-away, but the Russians defended their lead with all available power. By the final 10 kilometers most of Russian squad had tired from their defensive stance, opening the doors for an onslaught of attacks.
The fury made for some pretty nervous riding, which caused a bad crash at about two kilometres to go. The main victim was Discovery Channel Marco Polo's Brad White, who broke a rib.
The final mass sprint was won by Malaysian Anuar Manan (Malaysia National Team), with race leader Jenis Galimzyanov (Russian National Team) taking second and Discovery Channel Marco Polo Team's Russian sprinter Sergey Kudentsov third.
