Stage 2
Brussels to Spa
Distance: 201 kilometers.
Sylvain Chavanel of the Belgian team Quick Step had a rather nice ride. He won the stage, the yellow jersey by 2 minutes 57 seconds, the green jersey for sprinters, the red numbers for combative, the yellow numbers for advancing his team to first, and is second for the polka dot jersey. He is too old for the white jersey. Yes, a rather good day.
Jérôme Pineau of Quick Step won the polka dots, and Alessandro Petacchi of Lampre will be wearing the green, although he is in second place, because Chavanel can only wear one color.
