Tour De France
Comments 0 | Recommend 0GHENT, Belgium (AP) _ Gert Steegmans won the second stage of the Tour de France with an inspirational victory in his home country, avoiding a late crash that slowed many riders and left them with scrapes and bruises.
Steegmans led a 1-2 Belgian finish in winning a Tour stage for the first time. He covered the 105-mile course on rain-drenched roads from Dunkirk, France, to Ghent in 3 hours, 48 minutes, 22 seconds. QuickStep teammate Tom Boonen of Belgium was second, followed by Filippo Pozzato of Italy after a sprint among a group of breakaway riders.
Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara kept the leader's yellow jersey.
