First Gran Tour Win for Ciolek

Gerald Ciolek gets his first gran tour stage win for Team Milram. The absence of Mark Cavendish and Thor Hushovd will make the sprinting stages more competitive. I would expect to see both Tyler Farrar and Tom Boonen pick up at least one win.



Stage 2 results:
1 Gerald Ciolek (GBR) Milram 04:43:12
2 Fabio Sabatini (ITA) Liquigas
3 Roger Hammond (GBR) Cervélo TestTeam
4 André Greipel (GER) Columbia-HTC
5 Tyler Farrar (USA) Garmin-Slipstream
