Stage 2 - February 13: La Guardia de Jaén - Jaén, 157.2 km

First pro win for Manuel Lloret

Comunidad Valenciana scored another early season victory when 24 year-old Manuel Lloret Zaragoza won the second stage of the Ruta del Sol. Lloret crossed the finish line in Jaén four seconds ahead of Santos Gonzalez Capilla (3 Molinos Resort) and 1'28 ahead of Manuel Calvente Corbas (Agritubel). The overall lead changed hands to Carlos García Quesada (Unibet.com), who shares the same time as Rodrigo García Rena (Kaiku) and overnight leader Adolfo García Quesada (Andalucia-Paul Versan).

With most of the peloton more than half an hour behind seven riders on the general classification, the second stage was always going to suit a breakaway. Starting in La Guardia de Jaén, the 157 km stage featured four Cat. 3 climbs, and it took just 15 km again for the break of the day to be established. Nine riders escaped, including Manuel Lloret, Santos Gonzalez, Manuel Calvente, Jesús Del Nero (3 Molinos), José Luis Martínez (Comunidad Valenciana), José Mario Almagro (Relax - Gam), Manuel Beltrán (Discovery Channel), Juan Carlos Domínguez (Unibet.com), and Antón Luengo Celaya (Euskaltel - Euskadi). Both Comunidad Valenciana and 3 Molinos Resort had two riders in the break.

At one stage, the break had over nine minutes on the peloton, but even this wasn't threatening to race leader Adolfo Garcia Quesada, who was watching his brother Carlos and Rodrigo García, his main rivals on GC. In front, Lloret and Gonzalez accelerated away from the rest of the break in the finale, and were the two strongest riders in the stage. Gonzalez tried to get the jump on Lloret at the finish, but Lloret was able to mark him and take his first victory in his second season as a pro.

Carlos Garcia Quesada finished 12th on the day, while Adolfo only managed 21st, meaning that Carlos took over the lead in the general classification.

Tomorrow's third stage is from Cabra to Cordoba over 174 km, featuring two Cat. 3 climbs. It may be one for the sprinters, Tom Boonen, Alessandro Petacchi and Oscar Freire.
