Stage 2a - August 7: Liel - Müllheim, 71.6 km

Zanotti wins first half stage

Marco Zanotti (Fassa Bortolo) won the first half stage of day 2 of the Regio Tour, held over 71.6 km between Liel and Müllheim. The Italian sprinter beat Telekom's Danilo Hondo and Saeco's Giosué Bonomi in a bunch sprint. The race lead remained with yesterday's stage winner Cristian Moreni (Alessio).

The extreme heat did not seem to deter the riders in their short dash to Müllheim, and the stage was run at an average speed of 44.4 km/h, finishing 20 minutes before the fastest schedule. A six man group containing Jens Voigt (Credit Agricole) escaped after 6 kilometres, reaching a maximum lead of 1'00 before being dragged back in by the bunch with 10 kilometres to go. In the sprint, Zanotti was too strong for his rivals, and took the stage.
