Bjorn Glasner (Cologne) has won the second stage of the Giro del Capo after escaping from the peloton with Daniel Spence (HSBC) when the pair attacked on the day's ninth and final ascent of Helshoogte.
Building up a lead that at one point exceeded sixty seconds, the two managed to retain a 20 second margin on the chasing group, with Glasner out-sprinting Spence on the line.
The early parts of the stage were animated by Nicholas White (HSBC) who attacked from the outset and got away, taking with him Rupert Rheeder (Astrolabe/Omega) and Jacque le Roux (EDS).
Rheeder soon dropped off, but le Roux and White had a six minute lead before the bunch gave chase. White stayed away on his own on laps six and seven, taking the KOM classification on the seventh lap.
Glasner's win puts him into the leader jersey, with Spence just four seconds behind.
Tomorrow's third stage is 167km, starting and finishing in Paarl.
