Stage 2 of the 41st Vuelta a Navarra has been won by Carlos Castano, who rides for the Supermercados Froiz Spanish team. He outsprinted the only rider who was able to go with him in a very competitive finale: Russian Dimitri Semov of Sintofarm. They broke clear at the top of the Alto de Artajona, the last climb of the day located just ten kilometres before the finishing town of Tafalla.

In doing so, they also regained 10 out of the 24 seconds lost in stage 1 to Cafés Baqué's Christian Climent and Team Krone's Mads Kaggestad. But 17 out of the 41 remaining contenders for the overall win have lost time today, and that includes Ben Thaens of the Domo-Farm Frites directed by Rudy Verdonck. He was 3rd in Tudela and was considered one of the favourites among the international visitors after his 12th place overall in the same race one year ago.

The other leader of the Belgian squad who's building Johan Museeuw's heritage, Jochen Van Summeren, was so angry to have missed the right move in stage 1 that he did his best to win stage 2 but came 3rd. Another favourite Romes Gainetdinov, who was a Russian when he rode for Festina ten years ago but is now a Spanish in the Costa de Almeria-Leon outfit, disappeared from the first positions, due to a puncture at the worst moment.

Otherwise, there's now a serious watch out between the 'bull fighters' and the 'whale killers' - let's say the Basques and the Norwegians.

"I intend to keep the lead", race leader Climent has announced. One day later, he was still surprised that he beat out Kaggestad in a sprint "because usually if we arrive in five, I'm automatically 5th."

Another race will begin though, with the traditional uphill finish at the Alto de Bagordi in the north of the Navarra province. It's a 5.4km climb with 15% grade at the top. Team Krone's directeur sportif Øyvind Lillehagen is quite confident in Kaggestad's ability on this terrain. Three weeks ago, he won the overall classification in the Ringerike Grand Prix with an impressive ride in Riperbaken which is another steep climb in Norway.
