Rodriguez gets his first stage

Fred Rodriguez has scored his first win in the Sidermec jersey, taking the second stage of the Tour of Rhodes. The 30 year old American sprinter beat Dutch Rudi Kemna (BankGiroLoterij) and Jan Svorada (Lampre) in the bunch sprint, with Rodriguez now moving up to second overall, on equal time with prologue winner Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner).
The stage was marked by a breakaway from South African Rudolf Wentzel (Vlaanderen-T Interim), who attacked after the first sprint to win the GPM. He was joined by Joost Postuma (Rabobank) and Bjornar Vestol (fakta), but they were caught in the final kilometre by the fast moving pack.
