Stage 2: Auray > Saint-Brieuc

Stage 2 was a fantastic day of racing. Because this happened already, I'm not going to go into it, but there was a breakaway that was caught in the very last kilometers, and numerous people started attacking - none of them sprinters. You know, the sprinters whose teams hunted down the breakaway for a chance at a stage win.

So Fabian Cancellara attacked, and he's quick, but he started too early. Then some others began attacking, and finally (from the aerial view) - Thor Hushovd snuck up the line of riders, began to pass, and powered through to the finish with the stage win. But it wasn't enough to get the sprinter's jersey -- none other than Kim Kirchen won that - which is a big surprise. But overall - great day of racing.
