Cofidis’s David Moncoutie won Tuesday's 166km second stage of the Tour of the Basque country between Zarauz and La Lejana on Tuesday.
Aitor Osa (Illes Balears)took over the leader’s jersey, after finishing in second position, one second behind Moncoutie who timed 3:52:56.
The stage was marked by an early break by Spanish rider Jon Bru who led from the front for 100km before the French rider made a late surge to achieve his first victory in the race through northern Spain. "I studied the route this morning and I realized that I had a good chance," said Moncoutie, who is in overall 23rd position. "I'm hoping to achieve something big here," he said, adding that he expected the time-trial and the fifth and final stage to work in his favor as it also finishes with a climb.
