Funky Phil in yellow
By Roland Gomböktö
|
Phil Thuaux (Cyclingnews.com) has taken the yellow jersey in the Tour of Hungary after winning the second stage in a solo breakaway. The Australian had crashed earlier in the stage but did not give up in spite of his injuries. In fact, it seemed that his tumble increased his power, as he won by over a minute ahead of last year's winner Zoltán Remák. It was the first time in the history of the Tour of Hungary that an Australian rider has finished in first place. The win also gave Thuaux the yellow jersey.
The stage started with an unexpected breakaway attempt from 14 riders (Zoltán Remák was among them), which attacked right after the start in Balatonföldvár. The time gap of the break was more than six minutes, and they kept it until they reached the first slopes in Baranya. Remák attempted to ride away from the break in Orfu (like in last year's crucial stage), but László Garamszegi from P-Nívó Betonexpressz - FTC kept pace with him until he broke down.
It seemed that the stage would be a repeat of last year when Remák won in Pécs, but Phil Thuaux (Cyclingnews.com) caught Remák, and what's more, overtook him and took the lead in the first circuit in Pécs. The Australian won the stage of 1'06 from Remák, while the peloton increased its speed in the last laps in Pécs with Martin Prazdnovsky (CK ZP Sport Podbrezova) taking third and Tamás Lengyel the best placed Hungarian in fifth.

Although Thuaux holds a handy lead, the competition is still very open, and the ranking should change in tomorrow's time trial in Békéscsaba (South-East Hungary).
