Russian Yury Trofimov won the second stage of the Vuelta al País Vasco in a brilliant solo attack from the breakaway on the 160km journey from Ataun to Villatuerta. The BBox Bouygues Télécom rider powered away from his escape companion, Estonian Rein Taaramae (Cofidis) to take his first victory of the season. The reduced peloton came in 1:10 later, led by British rider Ben Swift (Team Katusha).

Spaniard Luis León Sánchez (Caisse d'Epargne) was able to hold on to his yellow leader's jersey with a fifth place finish on the day.

"I am happy that I was able to win this stage," said Trofimov after having celebrated his victory on the podium with champagne, kisses and flowers. "I wanted to win this stage, it fitted well with my abilities. Now I hope to win another stage, but I won't go for the general classification. I am not a big rider," said the Russian.

At the start in Ataun the riders were not very enthusiastic when they came out of the team busses: grey skies, rain and low temperatures did not raise the morale for most riders. But some were keen to stay warm with an early attack, and at 8.5 kilometers in American Timothy Duggan (Garmin-Slipstream) was accompanied by Johann Tschopp (BBox Bouygues Télécom) and the Cofidis riders Maxime Monfort and Rein Taaramae, but the quartet was quickly chased down by the peloton and another group tried its luck.

Twenty riders were able to crest the Alto de Lizarrusti (2nd category) with an advantage on the peloton. The leader of the mountain classification, Euskaltel-Euskadi's Aitor Hernández won the sprint at the top ahead of Tschopp, Taaramae and David Arroyo from the team Caisse d'Epargne.

In the descent, the peloton came back together until kilometer 25, when once more Taaramae and Trofimov escaped. Rabobank's Bauke Mollema and Manuel Vázquez from the team Contentpolis-AMPO joined the duo in front and together they reached a maximal advantage of 7:53.

At kilometer 73.3 the advantage of the quartet in front had diminished to 6:50 seconds as they passed the Alto de Etxauri. Taaramae went across ahead of Vázquez and Trofimov. Twenty kilometers later, Taaramae repeated his feat atop the Alto de Guirguillano, and would in fact go on to win all the remaining classified climbs. The peloton wasn't particularly interested in the chase just yet.

The intermediate sprint at the first passage through the finishing area of Villatuerta was won by Vázquez ahead of Mollema and Trofimov. The peloton, led by Caisse d'Epargne and Quick Step passed by 5:10 in arrears. Soon after, Vázquez and Mollema were no longer able to stay with the Russian and the Estonian and sat up to get a rest before being picked up by the bunch.

At 14 kilometers to go, Trofimov decided to leave his mate Taaramae, and by the final intermediate sprint in Arizala, he had ten seconds on Taaramae. The peloton was still 3:20 behind and it became clear that the leaders would not be caught.

Taaramae made a strong effort to close to within five seconds of Trovimov, but the Russian poured on just enough effort to stay clear, and was able to relish in his victory over the last few hundred meters.

Ben Swift took the bunch sprint 1:10 later, and Luis León Sánchez stayed leader of the race.

Tomorrow's third stage from Villatuerta to the Eibar will be 172.5 kilometers with five difficult mountains, one of the third, two of the second and two of the first category with the final ascent to the Santuary of Arrate, known as final stage of the Euskal Bizikleta.
