Italian Davide Casarotto (Alessio) won today's second stage of the Vuelta a Aragon, disputed over 160 kilometres between Graus and Tamarite de Litera. Casarotto finished solo in front of Eleuterio Anguita (Jazztel) and Bingen Fernandez (Euskaltel) who led the bunch home. He also took over the general classification from Mario Cipollini (Saeco).

117 riders started the second stage, with George Hincapie the only rider not competing, after abandoning on stage 1 due to tiredness from Paris-Roubaix. The first and only categorised climb was the Alto De San Roque, a 3rd category hill at kilometre 9, won by Eleuterio Anguita (Jazztel).

30 kilometres were covered in the first hour, before an attack came from Italian Emanuele Negrini (Cantina Tollo) at km 43. He rode to a maximum lead of 6'36 by halfway, before the bunch picked up the tempo.

Saeco and US Postal came to the fore to lead the chase, and by kilometre 127 Negrini was caught by 38 riders, including Lance Armstrong and Mario Cipollini. Over the final kilometres, the sprinter's teams got ready for a mass finish, but with 5 kilometres to go, David Casarotto managed to give them the slip.

He took the race by 9 seconds and therefore gained the overall lead and the points classification.
