Stage2 Bettini sprints his way to victory.

Paolo Bettini (Quick Step) pourtant plus connu pour ses qualités de rouleur que de finisseur, a remporté dimanche au sprint la deuxième étape du Tour d'Espagne entre Malaga et Cordoue. Il a devancé le Norvégien Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole), l'Italien Luca Paolini (Liquigas). Grâce aux bonifications, Hushovd s'est malgré tout emparé du maillot or de leader.

Bettini was a surprise sprint winner of Stage2 today. He beat other established sprinters like Hushovd (he managed to get the leader jersey) and Paolini.
Bettini was less surprised adding that he won sprints before.
Hushovd said his objective is to keep the golden jersey to Madrid. That would be a huge surprise. I don't think this will happen.
Tomorrow is the Vuelta longest stage.
