Coup Double for FDJeux

French team FDJeux.com has scored its second win in two stages of the 2nd GP Erik Breukink, with Austrian Bernhard Eisel winning the second stage from Riemst to Malmedy and back. The Austrian sprinter beat Gerben Löwik (BankGiroLoterij), who repeated his second place from yesterday, but in doing so took over the lead from Jimmy Casper. Third was Dave Bruylandts (Marlux) at 4 seconds behind Eisel.

The second stage which was run entirely in Belgian territory measured 207 kilometres, and although the weather conditions were fine and sunny, the strong winds and the hills made life tough for the pack that had already completed a 240 km stage yesterday. After only 18 kilometres, Bram Schmitz (BankGiroLoterij) attacked with Mart Louwers (Axa) and Stijn Devolder (Vlaanderen-T Interim), and the three rode out to a sizeable 11 minute lead.

Mart Louwers took the points on the Planck and the Baraque Michel climbs, then Bram Schmitz was first up the Ferme Libert and the Bevercé. At this point, after 105 kilometres of racing, Stijn Devolder had to let go. The peloton had also shattered by this stage, with FDJeux.com doing a lot of the damage. Such was the pace that a group of 30 riders, including Tom Steels, was eliminated from the race.

The leading pair were joined by Nico Sijmens (Vlaanderen T-Interim), Dave Bruylandts (Marlux-Wincor) and Johan Van Summeren (Quick.Step-Davitamon), before the remains of the peloton absorbed them. On the Halembaye (km 175) it was Geert Verheyen (Marlux-Wincor) first over the top, followed by Philippe Gilbert (FDJeux.com), Johan Coenen (Marlux-Wincor) and Stefano Casagranda (Alessio).

After that it was a race to the finish, with a group of 14 riders containing Casper, Löwik, Mathew Hayman (Rabobank), Paul van Schalen (AXA), Dave Bruylandts and Christophe Moreau (Crédit Agricole) gaining a small lead. With 15 km to go, there was another regrouping, and this was the platform for Löwik, Bruylandts and Eisel to attack. The three successfully held of the peloton, with Eisel proving to be the strongest at the end. However the FDJeux.com team lost the overall lead to Löwik, who has ridden very well these last two days.

Tomorrow is the third and final stage of the GP Erik Breukink, an 18 km time trial in Bladel. The classification is still quite open, with favourites being Gerben Löwik, Jimmy Casper, Bernhard Eisel, Mathew Hayman, Erik Dekker and perhaps Tomas Vaitkus (Landbouwkrediet).
