Felline wins Tour of Basque Country stage 2, Matthews leads (The Associated Press)
Fabio Felline of Italy won the second stage of the Tour of the Basque Country on Tuesday after finishing half a wheel-length ahead of Australia’s Michael Matthews, who retains the overall lead. The Trek Factory Racing rider’s powerful sprint appeared to catch first-stage winner Matthews by surprise and although the Australian pushed hard, he was unable to prevent Felline winning in a time of four hours, 32 minutes, 32 seconds. Tony Gallopin of France came third, in the same time, with the pack coming in immediately behind him.
