Pozzato beats Jaksche to win second stage
Quick-Step got their second stage win today in the Tour of Germany as Filippo Pozzato reeled in Jorge Jaksche to win. Pozzato nipped Jaksche at the line from a last minute sprint when it looked like Jaksche had the win. Pozzato has been on great form lately taking several wins including the HEW Cyclassics two weeks ago. Pippo hopes to keep this form going into the World Championships. Hopefully he will impress Franco Ballerini enough to get on the Italian worlds team. This is no easy task as the selection process for the Italian team is extremely competative evey year. This is due to the extensive depth of talent in Italian cycling and the heavy emphasis on the world championships.
