Agritubel's Moises Duenas took a solo victory in the second stage of the Regio Tour, and with it the overall lead of the race.

The Spaniard arrived in Neuenberg 51 seconds ahead of the chasing group, which was led by Fuerteventura-Canarias rider Mikel Artexte, followed by Tinkoff's Mikhail Ignatiev.

Friday's stage sees the peloton race 159 kilometres from Wehr to Schopfheim.

Lampre's Danilo Napolitano avoided a crash in the home straight to outsprint Paride Grillo and Robbie Hunter and win his third Coppa Bernocchi in succession.

The race was the third part of the Trittico Lombardo, which was won by Alessandro Bertolini who finished runner-up in the Tre Valli Varesine and took victory in Wednesday's Coppa Agostoni.

Denmark's Matti Breschel outsprinted Edvald Boasson Hagen and T-Mobile's Bernhard Eisel to win the second stage of the Tour of Ireland in Killarney.

The CSC man led home a pack of 40 riders, while team-mates Frank and Andy Schleck rolled in just under half a minute off the pace.

Unibet.com's Stijn Vendenberg finished safely in the lead group and still leads the overall standings.

Lilian Jegou of Francaise des Jeux won the third stage of the Tour du Limousin in a breakaway ahead of Jean-Luc Delpech.

The Frenchman outsprinted Delpech in Rochechouart, though admitted his win was partly down to a crash suffered by Credit Agricole's Patrice Halgand one kilometre from home.

Pierrick Fedrigo leads Oscar Pereiro by six seconds in the general classification going into Friday's final stage.
