The peloton was gathered for a long time but after about 50 kilometers five riders finally managed to form a break away: David Deroo (Skil-Shimano), Artur Gajek (Team Milram), Matthé Pronk (Cycle Collstrop), Ermanno Capelli (Scott- Amercan Beef) and Javier Aramandia Lorente (Euskaltel-Euskadi). But they were caught without further ado with about 10 kilometers remaining, so a bunch sprint was the deciding factor in the end.

Greipel beat Argentina's Juan Jose Haedo (CSC-Saxo Bank) and compatriot Robert Forster(Gerolsteiner) in a rain-soaked sprint finish in Nieuwegein, in the north of the Netherlands. Kenny Van Hummel (Skil-Shimano) was fourth and stage one winner Tom Boonen was fifth.

Spain's Jose Ivan Gutierrez (Caisse d'Epargne) finished in the same time as Greipel and so retained the overall race lead but Team Columbia's Edvald Boasson Hagen gained three precious seconds by winning an early intermediate sprint and is now second overall.

The talented young Norwegian is equal on time with Gutierrez in the official results but Gutierrez leads the race by the 16 hundredths of a second advantage he gained in the opening prologue time trial.

Boasson Hagen was sixth in the stage sprint but could take the race lead in the next few days before going for overall victory in the final stage time trial on Wednesday.

"Edvald is just 16 hundredths of a second behind Gutierrez now. That's close and so perhaps we can get the lead in the next few days. However we don't want to wear out the team and then lose the race by several minutes. We're going to ride smart," Columibia's sports director Tristan Hoffman said.

"I've lost count of how many sprints Andre has won this year. He dominated the Tour Down Under in Australia and has won another ProTour stage here. He and all the team were good today. John Devine and Servais Knaven worked with other teams to chase the break and then the boys dominated the sprint. There were two lead out trains: Columbia and Liquigas for Bennati but we were the fastest yet again."   

The eight-day Eneco Tour is part of the season-long ProTour series and continues on Saturday with stage three from Nieuwegein to Terneuzen in the west of the Netherlands over a distance of 185.9km.

"We had a tailwind for most of stage two but it will be a headwind on stage three. However all the guys are riding well and working together, so there's no reason why we can't win again," Hoffman said.

CSC Saxo Bank was satisfied with JJ Haedo's second place. Although CSC Saxo Bank sports director Dan Frost probebly would have like JJ Haedo to win the stage. "Today's finish was much better with a two-kilometer flat stretch at the very end and we did a lot better as well. JJ even started a bit too soon and used a lot of energy getting to the front aided by Matthew Goss after the other riders had opened the sprint early. But well done for sure," said Dan Frost.
