Stage 2 - May 13: Crécy-en-Ponthieu - Soissons, 204 km

Scandinavians dominate again

Norwegian neo pro Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole) lasted one day in the lead of the Tour de l'Oise et de Picardie, but the race is still in Scandinavian hands. Dane Michael Sandstød (Memorycard Jack&Jones) won the second stage with a late attack and his team mate, Swedish Dunkerque winner Martin Rittsel came in second with another Dane, Jørgen Bo Petersen (Charleroi) in third. Sandstød also leads the overall classification.

The stage started fairly fast with a ten man attack in the first kilometre, lasting some sixteen kilometres. Several other attacks kept the speed over 42 kph in the first hour, while the second was calmer. Jérôme Bernard (Jean Delatour) and Christophe Gauthier (Besson Chaussures) made a two minute gap after an attack around 90 kilometres but were finally reeled in by Hushovd's Crédit Agricole and Kirsipuu's Ag2R team.

Then, a huge group of 23 riders got away and managed to stay away. Yellow jersey Hushovd was not along and his team did not manage to catch the break.

With three kilometres to go Sandstød, who is a good track pursuiter, attacked and managed to hold the others off with Rittsel as second Petersen as third. This is also the top trio in the general classification with another Memorycarder, Arvic Piziks as fourth. The peloton was a little more than a minute behind.
