The second stage of the Tour of Catalan was finished in a bunch sprint. Roman arrived in the main group in the 26th position. No changes have occurred in the GC.

"A group of four riders broke away, then at the finish we rode three ten-kilometer circuits and that was where we chased them down. I was feeling pretty good and I was absolutely at ease. Unlike yesterday, it cleared up and the temperature was about 19 degrees. I suppose that tomorrow there will be more racing, the stage profile is quite hilly and we will climb up to the 1600 m above sea level mark. I guess that the stage will be finished in a bunch sprint, with some fifty riders in the group. From then on, the further stages will be harder and harder," Roman said. 
2nd stage (182.6 km): 1st Cavendish (GBr/Columbia) 4:15:46, 2nd Heado (Arg/Saxo Bank), 3rd Galdos (Spa/Euskaltel), 4thDumoulin (Fra/Cofidis), 5th Kreder (Ned/Garmin), ... 26th Roman Kreuziger (Cze/Liquigas-Doimo). 
Overall: 1st Voss (Ger/Milram) 4:20:43, 2nd Leipheimer (USA/Radioshack) +1, 3rd Klöden (Ger/Radioshack) +2, 4th Nerz (Ger/Milram), 5th Bakelandts (Bel/Lotto) both +4, ... 17th Roman Kreuziger +8.
