Linus Gerdemann wins, Tour of Luxembourg 2011, stage 2

Linus Gerdemann gave his Leopard-Trek squad another home win, soloing to take stage two in the Tour of Luxembourg on Friday and earning the overall lead in the process.

Gerdemann won the stage having ridden an aggressive race throughout. The German attacked fellow escapees Anthony Charteau (Europcar) and Jurgen Van Goolen (Veranda's Willems-Accent) on the second of three finishing circuits and the rest of the field didn't see him again.
