José Antonio Hermida and Ralph Näf (Multivan Merida) seem unbeatable based on their results so far at the first edition of Andalucía Bike Race. On Monday, they took their second stage victory and continue as the overall leaders.
"Today was harder, and we suffered a bit more, but we are happy we can still wear the leader´s jersey," said Näf.
The first racer across the finish line was actually Frenchman Julien Absalon, who is racing as a VIP for the first two stages only and is not part of the general classification.
"I am sure that next year a lot of foreign riders are going to come here, because this is a very good race to prepare the season. I leave with a very good feeling," said Absalon.
Like with stage 1, Rubén Ruzafa and Iñaki Lejarreta (Orbea) finished in second place. The Czechs Kristian Hynek & Pavel Boudny (Ceska Sporitelna Specialized) were third after they were slowed by a flat during the race.
Dakar winner Marc Coma, a beginner when it comes to mountain bike stage races, finished 31st today and said that he is "running out of energy" and "There is a good balance between the stages because yesterday was more technical and today was more flowy."
Kristine Nørgaard & Sally Bigham (Topeak-Ergon) were the women's winners for the stage. Jennifer Smith & Kathy Sherwin (Alphine Oryhopedic) were second while Sandra Santanyes Murillo & Isabel Castro (Bicis Esteve) finished third. The order for the top three on the stage is the same as for the general classification after stage 2.

Smith and Sherwin suffered a mechanical during the stage, costing them about 15 minutes while Santanyes and Castro said they were "enjoying the race alot".
Mads Boedker & Henrik Cohen (Danish Masters) won the masters category while Cait Elliot & Josh Ibbett (Torq Performance MTB Team) won the mixed category. Both teams also lead their respective categories in the general classification.
Tomorrow's stage 3 will start from Reventón and pass through Los Chinales Polígono Industrial, Alcolea and Cerro Muriano before returning to Córdoba.
