Valentin Iglinski (Astana) struck a double blow on day two of the Tour of Hainan as he sprinted to both stage victory and the overall lead. The Kazakh beat Taiji Nishitani (Asian Racing Team) and Johnnie Walker (Footon-Servetto) in a tight finish in Wuzhishan.
The decisive moment of the stage came on the final climb when a split occurred in the peloton and overnight race leader Yuri Metlushenko (Ukraine) was caught behind. 40 riders made the selection and they would put over two minutes into the rest of bunch before the finish. Valentin Iglinski’s team leader Alexandre Vinokourov was also caught wrong-footed as the gaps opened and he rolled in 2:30 down on the stage.
With both Metluschenko and Kenny Van Hummel (Skil-Shimano) absent from the front group in the finale, the sprint was an open one and it was Valentin Iglinsk who emerged victorious, edging out Nishitani and Walker.
Overall, the Kazakh leads the same duo by 4 and 6 seconds respectively, thanks to the time bonuses accrued at the finish. Former race leader Metlushenko falls to 36th overall.
