Der Neuseeländer Greg Henderson hat die zweite Etappe der Tour of Britain gewonnen und zugleich die Führung in der Gesamtwertung übernommen.

Der für die britische Sky-Mannschaft fahrende 34-Jährige setzte sich nach 160,5 Kilometern rund um Stoke-on-Trent im Sprint einer Spitzengruppe vor dem Schweizer Michael Albasini (HTC-Columbia) und dem Deutsch-Australier Heinrich Haussler (Cervélo) durch.

Hinter dem Niederländer Koen De Kort (Skil–Shimano) belegte der für die italienische ISD-Neri-Mannschaft fahrende Osthesse Patrik Sinkewitz Platz fünf. Auftaktsieger André Greipel (HTC-Columbia) kam mit dem großen Feld mit einem Rückstand von 10:40 Minuten ins Ziel und musste das Gelbe Trikot des Gesamtführenden an Henderson abgeben.
