Stage 2 - August 2: Ikast - Horsens 185 km

A local affair

The hilly east Jutlandian terrain suited the home riders well on the second stage. All four Danish teams raced aggressively for the 185 kilometres from Ikast to Horsens. Lennie Kristensen, Team Fakta, took the leader's jersey while Lars Michaelsen in the national team won the stage, his first ever in the Tour of Denmark.

"I knew I couldn't win in a sprint so when Klöden wanted me to pull on the last lap I attacked instead," Michaelsen said as he had taken advantage of the fact that the riders from the two leading Danish teams, Memorycard and Fakta, were fully occupied looking at each other in the finale.

The first attack came from young Michael Larsen (Horsens/Axa) after just three kilometres. Lauri Aus (Ag2R) hung on and the duo lasted for 120 kilometres with the Dane winning the climber's jersey along the way. Eleven riders finally caught them with strong names like leader Denis Zanette (Liquigas) and his team mate Davide Rebellin, Rolf Sørensen (Rabobank), Bo Hamburger (Memorycard) and Lennie Kristensen (Fakta) but the peloton didn't allow them to keep that gap for very long.

The speed rose when the group was caught and heading for the highest point of the race, Yding Skovhøj, the field was torn apart in the cross wind. Nineteen riders up front got a gap big enough to hold all the way to Horsens. Hamburger and Kristensen managed to get on the train. Sörensen and yellow jersey Zanette did not. It was clear that either Hamburger or Kristensen would take over the lead, depending on the outcome of the final sprint. A situation that Michaelsen used to win the stage, the blue points jersey and grab the second place overall. Since the biggest time bonus was lost for the two top contenders, Kristensen could allow himself to roll in as twelfth, winning the yellow jersey. In the overall classification 17 riders are within 18 seconds.
