Belgian Philippe Gilbert (Française des Jeux) has won the second stage of the Tour Méditerranéen in a 'low countries finale, out-sprinting the Luxembourg duo of Franck Schleck (CSC) and Kim Kirchen (Fassa Bortolo).

The finale was marred by a fall by Bram De Groot (Rabobank) in the sprint. De Groot was nevertheless given the same time as the peloton.

The bunch finish came at the end of a day marked by a 40km escape by Nicolas Reynaud (RAGT), who slipped away as the peloton came down from the day's first major obstacle, the col de l'Estérel at the 60km mark. Reynaud built a five minute gap before being recaptured as the peloton climbed toward Bormes-Les-Mimosas.

With three kilometres to go race leader Jens Voigt (CSC) broke away with his team-mate Franck Schleck and Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) but was only able to carve a ten second gap before being caught with 1km to go, eventually finishing fifth behind Gilbert.
