Estonian Janek Tombak took his second straight stage win on the second stage of Grande Prémio Rota Do Marquês, 172 kms from Marinha Grande to Pombal.
After the usual minor early attacks, the peloton reached the first sprint in Monte Redondo at 28 kms with Nuno Marta (Barbot - Torrié) first ahead of Manuel Liberato (Matesica - Abóboda) and Rui Sousa (Milaneza - MSS). With the bonus seconds Marta was now leader on the road and also on the same points as sprint jersey holder, yesterday's hero Inigo Landaluze (Euskaltel-Euskadi).
Ten kilometres later the Russian Alexei Markov (Itera) took off alone. After five kilometres Lizuarte Martins (Matesica) started an attempt to bridge, an attempt that was to last for 60 km, but all in vain. By then the Russian had more than eight minutes between himself and the peloton. In the mean time he had also won the day's first mountain prime and another sprint, in the sea resort Figuera da Foz.
In the day's final intermediate sprint, in Coimbra, with Markov still in the lead Nuno Marta managed to take another point, and bonus second, behind Aitor Gonzales (Kelme) and would lead the race unless Markov, nine seconds behind Marta in the general clssification, would be able to hold off the peloton.
He had seven and a half minutes by 120 kilometres and another 50 to ride. The chase was now on with Milaneza-MSS doing the job. Markov fought gallantly however. With 20 kilometres to go there was still two and a half minutes left but just like yesterday the adventure was over with five kilometres to go and just like yesterday Janek Tombak of Cofidis was fast enough in the sprint to take his second straight stage win, denying Nuno Marta the overall lead.
