Domo-Farm Frites sprinter, Robbie McEwen recorded his second major
race win of the season by taking stage 2 of the Tour Méditerranéen,
136.5 kilometres from La Garde to La Seyne-sur-Mer. McEwen benefited
from the work of his team as well as Fassa Bortolo who brought the race
back together for a mass sprint. Jaan Kirsipuu (Ag2r) finished second,
while Damien Nazon (Bounjour) was third.
Nine men made a break during the stage: Daniele Contrini (Liquigas),
Laszlo Bodrogi (Mapei), Patrice Halgand (Jean Delatour), Gianluca Bortolami
(Tacconi Sport), Glenn D'Hollander (Lotto), Franck Renier (Bonjour),
Grzegorz Gwiazdowski and Frederic Guesdon (FdJ). However, their advantage
never exceeded a minute and they were brought back with four kilometres
to go.

The Fassa Bortolo team was principally responsible for the chase, trying
to keep Ivan Basso in yellow, which they succeeded in doing. They were
helped by a tailwind and managed to prevent a last minute attack by
Zbigniew Spruch (Lampre) who was caught with just over a kilometre to
go.
Unfortunately there was a large crash shortly afterwards near the front
of the group, and Spruch, Bartoli, Comesso, Millar and Delrieu all came
down. Another crash with 100 m to go saw Alessandro Petacchi (who was
leading out) seriously hurt, with Andrej Hauptman and Bram de Groot
also involved.
However, Robbie McEwen, Jaan Kirsipuu and Damien Nazon all managed
to avoid the fallen bodies and bikes, finishing the stage in that order.
Ivan Basso managed to hold onto his yellow jersey amidst all the chaos.
