Stage 2 - September 20: Kaiserslautern - Pirmasens, 146.9 km

Dekker takes over

Rabobank again maintained control of the Rheinland-Pfalz-Rundfahrt during the second stage, as Erik Dekker won the sprint ahead of Michael Boogerd, a reverse of yesterday's placings. The win gave Dekker the overall lead, although he shares the same time as Boogerd.

The 147 kilometre stage from Kaiserslautern to Pirmasens was once again held in the pouring rain, and the orange Rabobank jerseys were prominent at the front of the peloton. Marc Wauters has won this race for the last two years, and the Dutch team has no intentions of relaxing its grip.

The only real attack today came from Dutchman Paul van Schalen (Team Cologne), and his lead reached a maximum of 3 minutes before he was caught after just 30 kilometres in the lead. The bunch sprint that finished the stage was won by World Cup aspirant Erik Dekker, from Michael Boogerd and Gerolsteiner's Saulius Ruskys.

Jan Ullrich, who is using this race as preparation for the World's, finished 12th today.

Tomorrow's third stage is the longest of the race, 190.8 kilometres from Pirmasens to Saarburg.
