Astana's Vaitkus sprints to win

After the last member of an extended breakaway was caught with 500m to go, Tomas Vaitkus (Astana) outsprinted Robert Förster (Gerolsteiner) and Björn Schröder (Team Milram) for a win in stage two.

The stage was agitated from the beginning with many attacks from the field. After 85 km, a group made up of four riders was able to get away from the field. The break-away group managed to extend its lead to 11'30" before teams like Milram, which had its hopes pinned on eventual third place Björn Schröder, began to pursue them in earnest.

"The Sprint was a little chaotic after the final outliers of the break were caught," said the 30 year-old Förster after his second podium placing of the Volta ao Algarve.

"It is beautiful to ride farther in yellow. Each day in yellow, we profit," said Gerolsteiner's Reimund Dietzen about Förster who is in yellow going into stage three.
