Another for Mapei as Gasparre takes stage 2

The Mapei-Quick Step Espoirs team continued its success in France today in the Circuit Des Mines. After Gian Paolo Cheula's win yesterday, today it was the turn of Graziano Gasparre who won the 2nd stage of the race from Briey to St. Avold over 163 kilometres.

Gasparre was part of a 30 man breakaway that was reduced to 20 riders in the cross winds. Gasparre also had his teammates Cancellara, Petrov and Cheula along in the break, and started his attack with 30 kilometres to go. He was able to keep in front with the next group of riders crossing the finish line 10 seconds after him. Renaud Dion (St Etienne-Loire) was classified in second place followed by Jimmy Casper (La Francaise de Jeux) in third.
